Chapter 186: Ask for Help!
"Imperial nephew, do you still need these vain things between you and me?" The man is Baili Mingjiang's half-brother, Baili Mingcang, King Cang. He stepped forward and patted Baili Moxu's shoulder, and asked with a little dissatisfaction, "Could it be that I want to call you Prince Xu too?"
"Uncle Huang, you forgot that this is in the palace, and my father dislikes us the most not talking about etiquette. The corners of Baili Moxu's mouth curved, which can be regarded as a smile.
"Don't use your father's trick to scare me, it's not that the Jinluan Treasure Hall is in front of the ministers and hundreds of officials, what do you want those titles to do? Besides, the imperial brother is now looking at the excerpts in the imperial study, where can I see you and my uncle and nephew talking here?" Baili Mingcang smiled and waved his hand, "Are you going to see your father or your mother?"
"First go to my father to tell me something, and then I will visit my mother. What about you, Uncle Huang?"
"I was just approached by your father to talk about the New Year's party, and it's old-fashioned and boring. No, I'm going to go out of the palace to drink!" Baili Mingcang said and lowered his voice, "By the way, imperial nephew, I heard that your princess is sick?
"Uncle Huang is really well-informed. Baili Moxu was noncommittal, with an insignificant expression, "Isn't it just a woman, why bother?"
"I said nephew, you don't look very good!" Baili Mingcang looked around and looked around, and put his head close to Baili Moxu's ear, "Also, a princess is sick, a princess has a big belly, she can't touch it if she wants to, and whoever encounters it has a headache." The other women in your palace have been following you for several years, nothing new, right? Ningxiang Pavilion has newly trained a batch of chicks, and the posture ^ color is not bad, although the talent is not as good as your waste princess, but it is also so-so, or uncle, I will accompany you to take a look tonight?
"Uncle Huang has a heart!" Baili Moxu raised his eyebrows, turned his face slightly, avoided the smell of fat powder on Baili Mingcang's body, and shook his head helplessly, "Now Xin'er is still in the baby, and I must accompany me every day to sleep, how dare I go out of the house to have a good time?"
"Cut, a cold Yuxin, you are afraid of being like this, are you still a gentleman?" Baili Mingcang looked like he hated iron but not steel, "Her belly is so big, and she can't sleep, and she doesn't let you be happy, she wants to suffocate you?
"Uncle Huang......" Baili Moxu looked embarrassed, he didn't know what to say when he met this unreliable imperial uncle.
"Silly nephew, people don't be romantic! Men, don't be too accommodating to women! The most important thing is to have fun in time! You have been fighting outside all the year round, and you haven't smelled the smell of women, why do you have to abstain from sex when you return to the capital? Uncle I taught you a game back then!" Baili Mingcang looked at Baili Moxu regretfully, "If I were you, I would at least get a few women to accompany the army, and it was right to kill the enemy for the country, but you can't be bitter about yourself, isn't it?!"
"Uncle Huang is good to his nephew, and my nephew understands. As soon as he heard Baili Mingcang talk about his "teachings" back then, Baili Moxu remembered the Qinglou Mei^Xiang incident, his temples jumped, and he hurriedly snorted, "My nephew has to go to the imperial study, and my father is still waiting." Uncle Huang, go to the Incense Condensation Pavilion, otherwise the stunning colors will be picked away!"
"Who dares to rob me of a woman?" Baili Mingcang smiled arrogantly, "I'm not here, don't think about choosing any of the chicks first!"
"Then the nephew won't prevent the imperial uncle from drinking and having fun!" Baili Moxu arched his hand and watched Baili Mingcang walk outside the palace. Immediately, he turned around and continued to walk towards the imperial study.
"Xu'er, Wuxia has just been destroyed, the situation of the five countries of the Cangxi Continent has been broken, Xueman's army was defeated by Yelan, there is an opportunity, if Xilin wants to become the overlord of Cangxi, he can take advantage of the victory to pursue, take Xueman in one fell swoop, and then look for an opportunity to annex the weaker Yelan, and finally compete with the Khmer in the Central Plains. Why do you advocate recuperation and insist on going to the border?" Baili Mingjiang was a little surprised after reading Baili Moxu's recital.
"Father, now that Xilin has annexed most of Wuxia, Xueman is bound to hold a grudge, and the Khmer is a little more wary of Xilin, and it is more likely that he will secretly ally with Xueman because he is afraid of Xilin's further strength, or he will disobey Yang and destroy Xilin's alliance with Yelan. After all, Xilin has been committed to expansion in recent years, and weapons and armor have been strictly insufficient. It would not be wise to rush into battle with Xueman at this time. β
"Xilin has just gotten Wuxia and needs to be converted to the hearts of the people. Although Mengzi was annexed by Xilin, there was no real submission, and from time to time there would be civil forces organizing rebels to rebel, so if Mengzi and Wuxia's people united against Xilin, what was the significance of this so-called victory? Therefore, Erchen thought that we should first consolidate the fruits of our victory, clear the remnants of the previous dynasties of Wuxia and Mengzi, make them truly submit to Xilin, eliminate hidden dangers, and prevent civil strife in the rear when the front war starts in the future. β
"Moreover, as the New Year approaches, the soldiers have no intention of fighting, and if they can have a stable New Year's Festival and recuperate, it can only be beneficial and harmless for future wars. Of course, the most important thing is that our arsenal is becoming more and more empty, and we choose a truce at this time, just so that we can organize manpower to mine the few mineral deposits that Yelan has given us, and seize the time to build weapons and armor to prepare for the final battle of unification. Baili Moxu carefully analyzed.
Now Xue Man hates Xilin to the core, so he will naturally secretly show favor to the Khmer and seek protection from the Khmer, and it is estimated that it will not be long before the two countries will sign an alliance treaty and announce it to the world. Although I, Xilin, married to the Khmer, the Khmer has never had the same heart with Xilin, and has always regarded Xilin as the biggest competitor, and there are many small actions in private. Although Yelan's ally is relatively reliable, it is too weak, if the Khmer and Xueman form an alliance, it is likely to take Yelan first, and if they annex Yelan, and then turn their guns and aim at Xilin, Xilin will be very passive. Baili Mingjiang frowned, since he wanted to dominate Cangxi, the opportunity to fight naturally could not be lost.
"Yelan is not such a bully. Baili Moxu smiled faintly, "Erchen came into contact with Murong Nian this time, and only then did he find that he was indeed a rare talent. Although he is young and has not yet broken through the tenth level of cultivation, he also has his own unique views on the marching formation, but he lacks experience, and the Yelan royal family has an internal ghost, and someone intends to borrow a knife to kill people for the position of the crown prince, and he will be besieged in the mountains for the first time he sent troops, and he almost lost his life. However, he returned to the border this time, led the army and cooperated with Erchen to flank the attack, and defeated the Wuxia and Xueman coalition forces, and Erchen found that his progress was simply too great, which was really amazing. Before the separation, Murong Nian told SΓΉ Erchen that he would retreat after returning to the capital, presumably the rise of himself and Yelan was just around the corner. β
"The reason why Gu Suqing is called the first talented woman in Cangxi is not only because of her beauty, but also because of her talent. At that time, Gu Sumo's attainments in the art of war were unmatched, and Gu Suqing was deeply rooted in Gu Sumo's true heritage, presumably this Murong Nian was also taught by her with all her might. Baili Mingjiang fell into deep thought, "In today's situation, Yelan is too weak, which is not a good thing for me Xilin. But if Yelan really becomes stronger, she will eventually become a potential opponent for Xilin's hegemony. β
Speaking of this, Baili Mingjiang looked up at Baili Moxu, "Xu'er, whether it's Murong Bai or Murong Nian, they all love Murong Huan very much." If you want to maintain an alliance with Yelan for a long time, or finally make Yelan willing to submit to Xilin, your princess is extremely important. Although your mother has a good relationship with Murong Bai and Gu Suqing, for the sake of insurance, you must make that Murong Huan die for you, and don't let Murong Bai and them think that marrying Murong Huan to Xilin is a wrong choice, otherwise the alliance between Yelan and Xilin may be in jeopardy. β
"Father, Erchen understands!" Baili Moxu smiled bitterly in his heart, Father, if you knew that Murong Huan had left Erchen, would you be furious?!
"Murong Bai is different from Leng Kunyang, he is a person who values love and righteousness, and his care and love for his wife and children are far greater than his concern for the world. It's just a mistake, but in the end he became a king. However, he has never had any ambitions, presumably if we treat his favorite daughter well, in the future, Xilin will dominate Cangxi, and there will be a conflict of interests between the two countries, he would rather choose to be a vassal in order to avoid the loss of life, and will not really compete with us. "Baili Mingjiang's wishful thinking is good.
"Father, at this time and that time, now that Yelan's national strength is not strong, Murong Bai is willing to show weakness, but if Yelan becomes strong in the future, who knows if he will be willing to live under others?"
"There's no need to worry about that. That day, Murong Nian came to the imperial study, and I talked with him for a long time. He has lived in the folk for 12 years, under the teaching of Gu Suqing, he is close to the people and loves the people, has a benevolent heart, does not like power, and does not have much interest in the so-called world. The reason why he personally led the army to fight this battle was also Murong Bai's arrangement. Murong Bai intends to pass on to him, and he needs to make achievements in order to be able to serve the public. And I found out that he loves his sister very much, if Xilin really has a sword with Yelan in the future, Xu'er, you have his favorite sister in your hand, are you still worried that he will not give in?"
"Father has a point. Baili Moxu couldn't see any emotion on his face, and he looked completely in agreement
