Chapter 70: The Border
The sun was rising in the east, and the Great Sui had just passed a slightly difficult early autumn, and a different voice came from the border.
As soon as he went to the DPRK this morning, a letter came from the border between the Great Sui and the neighboring countries, reporting that the situation on the border was not very optimistic now.
In the autumn of this year, the weather in Dasui was unexpectedly cold, and so many people were infected with wind chill because of the sudden cooling, and the grassland tribes near Dasui will only get more serious.
In recent days, the border of the Great Sui has been robbed of grain by the grassland tribe from time to time, and the days of harassment have become more and more frequent. A few days ago, he even slaughtered a village, causing everyone in the entire border of the Great Sui to endanger themselves and riot.
After recovering from a serious illness, Emperor Sui's face was not very good when he went to court today. Such news came from the border, and Emperor Sui's face turned blue after reading the letter: "What a grassland clan!" Is it really easy for me to bully Da Sui? ”
The military department Shangshu was the first to stand up and speak, and his face was also very ugly: "The grassland clan is too deceitful!" My Great Sui soldiers are strong and strong, when they attack the past, beat them to be convinced, and beat the courage of my Great Sui! ”
"The emperor is angry!" The official Shangshu stood up and said: "Now that our country has just been traumatized, the whole country has lost its labor and money, and displaced people abound, so it is really not suitable to use troops!" ”
The Ministry of Industry Shangshu also hurriedly followed: "Autumn is coming!" The Ministry of Industry has been working hard these days to build all the things needed for the Autumn Valley, and there is really no extra money to provide for the needs of the war! ”
The secretary of the military department was so angry that his face was red and his neck was thick, and he pointed at the secretary of the ministry and the secretary of the ministry and the secretary of the ministry and scolded: "Everyone else has been bullied to the doorstep!" I can still bear it! The people of the border are also the people of my Great Sui, and the basic guarantee of their safety is not worth mentioning in the eyes of you people? ”
was pointed at his nose and scolded, and the faces of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Officials were not good-looking, and they immediately put forward a lot of reasons to refute the views of the Ministry of War. For a while, there was everything in the court, and the main battle faction and the main peace faction insisted on their own words, and they were at a stalemate!
Li Yu and Li Wangye stood side by side, watching the two sides keep arguing and did not express their opinions. Neither stand in line nor speak.
"That's it!" Emperor Sui was so troubled by the quarrel that he threw the piece in his hand to the hall, and instructed both parties to write a charter and make a decision after handing it over tomorrow!
After the next dynasty, Li Wangye was called to the imperial study by the people sent by Emperor Sui, leaving Li Yu alone to go to the door.
Halfway through, Li Yu saw a little maid in Tsing Yi running towards the harem in a panic. With a little doubt in his heart, Li Yu left the palace and got into the carriage and returned to the Li Palace.
At dinner in the evening, Prince Li really didn't rush back, and only Princess Li was left in the Li Palace, Li Yu and Liang Qian, and the three of them sat together to eat.
Gradually in autumn, the cold weather day after day, Liang Qian couldn't stand it, and he was wrapped tightly every day. Li Yu glanced at Liang Qian, who was sitting beside him, and saw that the other party's small face was wrapped in a plush collar, white and tender.
These days, because of the weather, Liang Qian's appetite has also become a little bad, and he often can't eat much, Li Yu saw Liang Qian taking small sips of rice in the bowl, and personally added a bowl of soup to Liang Qian and put it next to him.
The warm fish soup was a milky white, steaming upwards, Liang Qian glanced at Li Yu carefully, and saw that the other party was talking to Princess Li, so he gently lifted the soup and took a sip.
Li Yu's movements were too natural, and Princess Li, who was sitting at the top, didn't notice it, and said to Li Yu by herself: "The border matter has to be solved after all, but I don't know if the emperor will choose this?" ”
Li Yu nodded in agreement, and Yu Guang noticed that Liang Qian drank the soup one by one, and reached out to put a dish in the bowl for Liang Qian.
Liang Qian looked at the sweet and sour pork ribs in his bowl, frowned and hesitated, but still put the ribs in his mouth.
However, in such a short period of time, Li Yu and Princess Li have discussed from the border matter to the matter of Liang Qian's prescription some time ago, and then turned back to what Princess Li knew when she saw Queen Lin Yi some time ago: "These days, the queen mother has been meeting the young ladies of various families, I am afraid that she is going to choose concubines for the prince and various princes!" ”
Princess Li is talking about various princes, but in fact, among the three princes who have reached the age of Emperor Sui, the eldest prince already has a concubine, and in the final analysis, it is just for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the third prince Cheng Haochen.
In this regard, Li Yu thought about the actions of Emperor Sui and the Gu family some time ago, and said, "It's still not necessarily!" The queen has taken care of too many things over the years, and the emperor may not let her choose a good daughter-in-law who is satisfied. ”
Who's to say it isn't?
Princess Li nodded.
As emperors, they are the best at checking and balancing each other!
Queen Lin Yiran has been planning for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Cheng Haohan all these years, and her hand is indeed a little long. Previously, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince already had a high-status Yi Pingting as a side concubine, and now the queen wants to choose another high-status princess, but Emperor Sui does not allow it!
Liang Qian could only understand the twists and turns of the two people's speech, so he simply didn't pay attention to it, and only cared about eating his own food, but he ate a lot more than in the previous days.
"That's right!" Princess Li said, and suddenly remembered: "The day before yesterday, Concubine Song invited the wives of several families to a party, and one of them had a good time with me, she said that Concubine Song was not in a good state, and she always felt that there was something dirty in the harem, and she was in a trance all day long!" ”
Song Guifei?
Liang Qian listened to this familiar surname, and once recalled Song Ziyun who was still in the Song family in Qingzhou. At that time, she and Li Yu left in a hurry, and Liang Qian could only hurriedly send a parting letter to Song Ziyun, and the two lost contact.
I don't know how Song Ziyun is doing in the Song family now?
Liang Qian put down the chopsticks in his hand and couldn't help but think about it.
Unlike Liang Qian, Li Yu noticed the person Song Guifei.
Song Guifei is also a legendary figure in Emperor Sui's harem.
Song Xueting is just the daughter of an imperial businessman, who is not prominent in her mother's family and has no heirs in the harem of Emperor Sui, and has become the most favored woman of Emperor Sui over the years.
Li Yu listened, and also took this matter to heart, ready to find an opportunity to investigate.
Unexpectedly, Princess Li had just finished telling Li Yu about this matter, and the next day there was news of Song Guifei's injury in the harem.
The news of the haunting in the harem has been spread for a while, and Song Xueting's injury this time suddenly opened up the situation, and everyone in the harem was in danger, but there were a lot of troubles.
"What the hell is going on?" Inside Fengluan Palace, Lin Yiran smashed a lot of things in a hurry: "Has Song Xueting's matter been investigated?" I've been checking for so long and there is no news, are you all dead? ”
Last night, Song Xueting walked on the flat road of the Imperial Garden but suddenly broke her leg, and the people in the harem said that the former queen Su Qianqian couldn't see Song Xueting's revenge in such favor now, which made people in the harem panic.
As the lord of the first palace in charge of the harem, Lin Yiran is naturally investigating this matter.
While investigating, I kept hearing how the current former queen Su Qianqian was favored, Lin Yiran's teeth itched with hatred, but she still didn't dare to show anything.
The Qianmian Tower, which was specially built for the former queen Su Qianqian, still stands tall in the harem, constantly reminding the world of Su Qianqian's status in the heart of Emperor Sui, and Lin Yiran did not dare to act rashly.
"What's the situation on the emperor's side?" After Lin Yiran lost her temper, her heart calmed down again, and she continued to think about what happened next.
The confidant eunuch immediately told Emperor Sui's recent situation: "After the emperor learned the news, he immediately went to Song Guifei's palace and cared about Song Guifei for a long time, but I don't know the specific other circumstances." ”
The confidant eunuch thought for a while, and then continued to add: "The emperor heard the rumors in the harem last night, and he lost his temper and said nonsense, and wanted to arrest all the people who talked nonsense!" ”
That's it!
After hearing this, Lin Yiran lowered his eyes and ordered: "Since the emperor has already said it, those people in the harem who are spreading rumors everywhere should be arrested!" lest the emperor hear it and be upset! ”
"Yes!"
