Chapter 8: The Story (1)

It stands to reason that it involves the royal family and several important ministers in the court, and what a serious matter it is about the rise and fall of the imperial court! But often people are not interested in the main part of these stories, but some inexplicable side branches: for example, Chi Liye, the Duke of Yingguo, is afraid of his wife, such as the son of the hussar general Han Fang and the daughter of Chi Liye, who have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, for example, Jiang Mushang, the general of Xiangping, could have risen to the top but somehow invited himself to Xiangping, a small city far from the political center, to be a mere guard, and for example, after Jiang Mushang's death, his righteous son who was retrieved from the beggar's nest was called Jiang Ying, and now it is, ...... Empress Dowager Luo's face!!

These three families and the royal family have provided the people of the Southern Han Dynasty with after-dinner conversation for a long time, which has endured and is always new. However, the top of the gossip list has been occupied in recent years, and it is Jiang Mushang Yizi who is really eye-catching, Jiang Ying. However, since we want to tell the story of Empress Dowager Luo and Jiang Ying, we need to go back and talk about it.

I heard that in the 7th year after Emperor Xuan ascended the throne, after these years of recuperation, the people of the Southern Han Dynasty became richer and richer, and the army was also strong after the rectification of the three generals, just like all the monarchs of the country in the troubled times, their country was just strong and couldn't wait to break the territory and conquer neighboring countries, completely regardless of whether the people could stand it or not, but all the monarchs who were not too contented and happy were like this, not to mention Emperor Xuan, whose character and IQ were so good, had always been proportional to the country's economic ability and his ambitions.

So, Emperor Xuan raised his arms and shouted, the courtiers didn't care about anything else, they only echoed the wisdom of the Lord, long live the Lord, the Lord is really a saint, we have to learn from the Lord...... Anyway, it's not these civil officials who shed blood in the war, so it's good that the Lord is happy, right......

When Emperor Xuan raised this matter in the main hall, the three core generals of the imperial court reacted differently, first of all, Chi Liye, who was far superior to the other two and was named the prince of the country, which shows that Chi Liye's eloquence is not comparable to the city government. At that time, Chi Li Ye groaned for a while, stepped forward and said: "Lord, your subordinates think that this matter is feasible! Our Southern Han Dynasty is now becoming stronger and stronger, and our territory is facing the sea in the east, and the barbarians of the northern steppe peoples are not to worry. The southwest is adjacent to the two great powers of Xiyan and Xiangqiu, and these two countries have declined in recent years, and now the Lord wants to open up the territory and break the ground, which is a good opportunity! His Majesty is not talented, and he is willing to lead his troops to the crusade!"

Among the three of them, when it comes to wisdom and strategy, it should be Chi Liye, but in terms of eloquence and ability to lead troops to fight, Han Fang is superior, but Han Fang is the most upright person, and he is a person who truly cares about the world for the country and the people. Although Han Fang also thought about making the Southern Han Dynasty a prosperous era through the ages, the first thing he thought of when he was worried about the country and the people was what kind of disaster the war would bring to the people. But the Southern Han Dynasty had just recovered from the great disaster and had just been given a chance to recuperate, but Emperor Xuan had let the whole country fall into disaster again for his own ambitions at this time, which was another matter.

Mr. Xuan was very satisfied with what Chi Liye said, and thought that Chi Qing really understood me! That is, he wanted to seek more approval, so he asked Han Fang: "What does Han Qing think?"
