The Royal Palace, the Imperial Study.

The emperor closed the piece in his hand and stretched his body.

Seeing this, Wang Bao hurriedly came up.

"Your Majesty, which concubine are you going to find now?"

When the emperor heard this, not only did the delicate concubines in the harem feel some emotions in his mind.

But he touched his old waist, which was a little sore, and shook his head helplessly.

"Recently, the government has been somewhat abandoned, and several cabinet elders have resigned slightly, and the queen mother has also reminded me not to be too wanton, it is better to be stable for a while. By the way, has there been news of Liaodong and Jia Cong recently?"

Seeing the emperor's actions, Wang Bao almost understood.

Knowing that his master has been a little ridiculous and excessive recently, he doesn't know how to control himself, and his body is a little unbearable.

Naturally, he couldn't tell about this kind of thing, so he could only pretend not to know.

Seeing that he pulled the topic to Jia Cong, he could only continue to talk about it.

"Back to Your Majesty, the situation in Liaodong has always been under our control, and all the local officials are also in charge of the people sent by the imperial court.

According to the report of Xiuyiwei, in late May, the king of Liaodong began to inspect all parts of Liaodong with a group of wives and concubines, and arrived in Guangning in July, and then left from Guangning, and did not return to Liaoyang, and the group disappeared without a trace."

"What did you say? People are gone? How is this possible?"

When the emperor heard this, he couldn't believe it, the big living person could be gone, what kind of joke are you kidding.

Was it taken captive?

Jia Cong's ability, it shouldn't be possible, right?

"Are you telling the truth? How many centaurs did Jia Cong bring? Where are you now?"

"Back to Your Majesty, this matter is true, the slave specially asked people to investigate this matter, and the King of Liaodong brought his two hundred personal soldiers, according to speculation, the King of Liaodong and his party are likely to go to the grassland."

Wang Bao told the emperor everything he knew.

After hearing this, the emperor couldn't help frowning.

Jia Cong does business with the grassland, and the two sides have some friendship, which he knows.

A group of them disappeared near Quang Ninh, and there is a high probability that they really went to the grassland.

It's just that at this time, what did Jia Cong do in the grassland?

What is the secret of the ulterior motives? Or is it just a trip with the family?

"Have you sent an embroidered guard to the grassland to investigate, has this news been confirmed?"

"Back to Your Majesty, I have sent people to track them down, and some herdsmen have seen a group of people passing by, but they have never found their traces, and I don't know where their destination is. But looking in that direction, I should have gone to the Goshawk Tribe."

"The Goshawk Tribe?"

The emperor looked at Wang Bao with a blank face.

In his memory, it seems that he has never heard of this name.

"I, why haven't I heard of this tribe, where are they?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the goshawk tribe is the former Nekhalkha, and now it has a different name, and their tribal leader is a man named Wang Shun, I heard that he used to be a horse bandit, because he shot at the king of Liaodong, and was captured alive by the king of Liaodong.

It may be that the two sides reached a deal, and the king of Liaodong did not kill him, but let him go and let him protect the Jia family's caravan on the other side of the grassland. Later, there was a great war between the barbarians and the Mongols, and the king of Liaodong also intervened.

That Wang Shun should have received the help of the King of Liaodong to have his current status. When the king of Liaodong went to the grassland, he should go to Wang Shun's tribe. As for what to do? The minions don't know."

After hearing this, the emperor fell into deep thought for a while.

The Great War of the Nekhalkha and the Barbarians, he knew.

It was provoked by Jia Cong, who was only twelve years old that year, and took a caravan to the grassland to do business, and killed the barbarian Sanbeile Mang Gurtai who went to the grassland to negotiate an alliance.

Then the blame was given to the Mongols, which was caused

A great war between the two clans.

Later, he was killed by a sneak attack, the old Khan King and the old slave of the northern overlord barbarians.

Helped the Mongols and repelled the army of the barbarians.

Let the Mongols and barbarians fight a defeat and suffer heavy casualties, so that the current situation is present.

On the surface, Jia Cong was kind to the Mongols.

But in fact, the main culprit of the fall of the Inner Khalkha Mongols was Jia Cong.

Jia Cong should be the enemy of the Mongols, which Jia Cong understands better than anyone else that he should only go to the grassland for fun or to discuss business, and it is impossible to collude with the Mongols, which will not benefit him.

Besides, he slaughtered more than 100,000 Mongol troops in the capital last year, and the Mongols could not trust him.

It's just that Jia Cong left Liaodong without authorization, which still made the emperor feel a little unhappy.

"Send someone to keep an eye on the Liaodong side, and tell me as soon as there is news of Jia Cong."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the servants have already ordered them to go down, and as soon as there is news, they will immediately rush eight hundred miles to the capital and tell Your Majesty as soon as possible."

The emperor glanced at Wang Bao with strange eyes, and was relieved when he thought of his festival with Jia Cong.

With this guy's temperament, after suffering such a big loss, he will definitely stare at Jia Cong and find a way to find his fault.

That's fine, with him staring at Jia Cong, he doesn't have to worry too much.

"By the way, after Hudun Khan was killed by Jia Cong, what is the situation of his Chahar tribe now? Have you been there to investigate?"

"Back to Your Majesty, after the death of Hudun Khan, the strength of the Chahar tribe dropped greatly, and it was swallowed up by a tribe called the blue wolf. In the past, Chahar's territory became the territory of the blue wolf tribe.

Now the northern grasslands border us, and there are two largest tribes, one is the blue wolf tribe in the north, and the other is the goshawk tribe in the northeast."

The emperor nodded: "The goshawk tribe has something to do with Jia Cong, but don't worry too much, that goshawk tribe, send more people to pay attention to it to prevent them from going south again."

"Yes, the slaves will send more men."

At this moment, a little eunuch walked in, holding a newspaper in his hand.

"Your Majesty, the urgent report from Liaodong was sent urgently by eight hundred miles."

The emperor was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly shouted, "Hurry up and present it."

Wang Bao hurriedly stepped forward, took the report, looked at it carefully and saw that there was no problem, and then sent it to the emperor.

The emperor took the report, couldn't wait to open it, and read it carefully.

There is not much content on it, only one line of words: "The king of Liaodong and his party returned to Liaodong from the grassland, and the team brought nearly twenty carriages, suspected to be loaded with leather goods and medicinal herbs."

With a wave of his hand, he asked the little eunuch to step back and look at Wang Bao on the side.

"Jia Cong has returned to Liaodong and brought a lot of goods back, could it be that he is going to do business?"

"Your Majesty, where is the use of doing business until the king of Liaodong personally goes out, the caravan of the Jia family is enough, I heard that there was a trip last winter, the king of Liaodong is out of the horse, there must be something else."

The emperor turned his head to look at Wang Bao: "I'll leave this matter to you, you can arrange for someone to find out as much as possible."

"Minions obey."

Wang Bao thought for a while, and then spoke: "Your Majesty, the king of Liaodong is now living in the Jiedu Embassy, and we can't get into the people at all, although there are our people in the army, but Jia Cong rarely holds military meetings.

When fighting, orders will be given directly, and the generals will not be convened to discuss in advance, and it is difficult for our people to get the news in advance. The battle for the defense of the capital, several battles in Liaodong, was the same, and no one knew the plan of action until he gave the order.

The slave feels that if he wants to completely grasp the news of Jia Cong, he must install our people by his side, what does Your Majesty think?"

The emperor naturally knew that Jia Cong did this because he didn't trust those people under him, for fear of revealing secrets.

It can be seen from this that Jia Cong is a thoughtful person.

It is not unreasonable to be able to win every battle.

Now that Jia Cong has a large army in his hands and is the lord of Liaodong, he is also a little uneasy to say from his heart.

It's just that Jia Cong has already taken refuge in himself, and his throne is also thanks to his help, and he has saved his life.

If he didn't have Jia Cong to help him, he wouldn't be able to be the emperor at all.

From this point of view, he shouldn't not believe Jia Cong.

But people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and there are exceptions to everything, who knows what Jia Cong thinks in his heart?

The key is that Jia Cong's ability is too strong, once he has a different heart, no one can cure him anymore.

Who can guarantee that he will never have a dissenting heart in his life?

At this moment, he suddenly understood what his father had done at the beginning.

The father knew that Jia Cong had always been loyal to him, but he was still determined to kill him, but he was afraid that one day in the future, Jia Cong would have different intentions, but he couldn't control him.

Hey, Jia Cong would be a little more mediocre.

Now you can take advantage of Wang Bao's hatred for Jia Cong and let Wang Bao supervise Jia Cong.

Thinking of this, he looked at Wang Bao.

"You also said that Jia Cong can't get into people, what do you want to do?"

"Your Majesty, the palace of the King of Liaodong in Liaodong has almost been built, and he will be able to move in next year at the latest, his palace is not small, and the manpower of Ningguo Mansion is not enough at all.

The meaning of the minions is to ask Your Majesty to reward a group of palace maids and eunuchs from the King of Liaodong, and the minions will train a group of people in advance and blend into them, so that they can slowly blend into the side of the King of Liaodong and understand his every move."

The emperor pondered for a moment and nodded.

"It's not impossible for you to have this idea, but once Jia Cong finds out, he will know that I don't believe him, which will affect my relationship with him, and may make him and me go further and further. Have you ever thought about this result?"

"Your Majesty, I heard that the king of Liaodong likes beautiful women, and the beauties around him are like clouds, and he is very good to the people around him, we can select a group of stunning beauties and send them to his side.

Once they are taken by Jia Cong and become Jia Cong's people, it will be difficult to be discovered, and it will be easier for us to understand Jia Cong's thoughts."

Hearing Wang Bao say this, the emperor was really a little tempted.

Beauty, this is indeed possible.

Although Jia Cong has a good reputation and never goes to the brothel of Qinglou, there are indeed many women around him.

It is said that heroes are sad to pass the beauty level, and a young hero like Jia Cong should not be able to pass the beauty level, right?

However, it has to be a real stunningly beautiful woman.

is an ordinary vulgar fan, Jia Cong definitely can't look down on it.

"Although there is no shortage of palace maids in the palace, there are few real stunning colors, some vulgar fans, Jia Cong can't look down on them, this matter is probably not easy to do."

Wang Bao smiled: "After Your Majesty ascended the throne, there are no draft girls, why not take this opportunity to select show girls across the country, and then there will naturally be no shortage of stunning beauties, and Your Majesty can also pick some of your favorite ones and take them as concubines."

When the emperor heard this, his eyes lit up.

He is also a young man and an emperor, who sits on the world and wants to have the beauties of the world.

During this time, I lingered in the flowers every day, and I had some taste of eating marrow.

Wang Bao's proposal made him very excited.

"I'm right, I'll leave this matter to you, don't make a mistake for me."

"Minions obey."

······

"The emperor's proclamation, peace and longevity, the emperor's foundation Hengyu, benevolence Gong Jin, and Long Endun. The qi of heaven and earth is precious to yin and yang. In the morning of the sun and the moon, stay in the east of crape myrtle. Emperor Wu Dachu issued an edict to all parties to select the daughters of good families to fill the court."

"I draft girls, only follow the old system. Its must be beautiful in the sound of the emblem, fragrant and beautiful, dreaming of the night without violating the etiquette, Yu Xian Fan in the court. Dignified and loving, benevolent and close to the palace maid."

"The Ministry of Rites, with the will of Yiyi, is focused on this autumn, selecting Zhaoyuan, entering Fengliangdi, Guanglongyin's profoundness, and protecting the ancestors' Hongxu, admiring this."

Wang Baona

A sharp voice filled the Jinluan Palace.

A group of civil and military ministers, looking at each other, the emperor wants to draft a draft girl to enrich the harem.

This is a good thing for some people, who have a chance to climb to the sky in one step, and can take the opportunity to climb to the emperor and become a relative of the emperor.

There are also some people who don't want their girls to enter the palace.

In short, some people are happy and some people are sad.

Although Hu Yong was a little surprised and did not know in advance, he did not object to it.

The emperor's draft is justified, and he has no reason to oppose it.

Besides, it has been in the palace for many years, and there is no draft, and some fresh blood is also needed to enrich the harem.

The secretary of the Ministry of Rites stepped forward to receive the order: "The old minister obeys the order."

······

Ningguo Mansion, Inner Courtyard.

Xue Baochai is teasing her daughter Ruotong.

The little girl has been more than six months old, white and chubby, very cute.

Every now and then, there will be bursts of childish, crisp laughter.

Aunt Xue on the side laughed and said, "This little girl is really getting cuter and cuter the longer she gets, Brother Cong will definitely like it when she sees it."

Xue Baochai sighed softly, it has been more than a year since Jia Cong sent troops to Liaodong.

I don't know when I'll be able to pick myself up.

"Her father can't come back, Ruotong is so young, we can't go, when their father and daughter meet, it is estimated that Ruotong will call her father."

Aunt Xue nodded: "The child is only like this, I will definitely not be able to go this year, I heard that Liaodong is too cold, and the child is probably guilty when he goes, so it is more comfortable to go to the capital." When it warms up next year, I should bring you all together."

"I hope there are a lot of things involved, and I have to take into account the attitude of the imperial court. The prince hasn't heard from him for four or five months, and Xue Ke came with a letter last month, saying that the prince and his family are inspecting all parts of Liaodong, and it's been three months, and he hasn't gone back yet."

Aunt Xue smiled, "After all, it's your own territory, and you always have to go on patrol."

Xue Baochai smiled: "I guess I took them to play by the way, otherwise it would be a pity that I didn't go with them for many months."

"Brother Cong spoils you so much, there will be a chance in the future."

At this time, Ying'er walked in.

"Miss, a letter from Liaodong."
