Chapter 13: Xie An's shock
On the second day, Emperor Wu informed the ministers of the situation on the border, "Aiqing, do you have any thoughts on the current actions of the two countries?" ”
"Father, Erchen feels that although the two countries are mobilizing troops, the relationship between Western Qin is more tense, and Erchen suggests that envoys should be sent to stabilize them, and when the relationship between Western Qin is eased, the troops will be transferred and increased." The second prince, Zhao Ziyan, has always been unwilling to fight with the Lord and faction.
"What the second brother said is wrong, Dog Rong and Dongyi are barbarian lands, and peace talks are useless." The eldest prince Zhao Zilin can fight well, and he is most unaccustomed to Zhao Ziyan's cowardice.
"Father, the cavalry of the Flying Wing Legion of the two countries is the most powerful, and it is a big trouble, the sons ask for their orders to fight against the Dongyi, please ask for the permission of the father."
Emperor Wu nodded, he still preferred the heroic character of the eldest prince, but what the second child said was not unreasonable.
"Your Majesty, what the minister said for the two highnesses is reasonable, and the minister suggests that on the one hand, send an envoy to postpone the time, and on the other hand, recruit troops on the spot to prevent accidents." The university scholar Lu Heng is also a neutral faction and is deeply respected by the emperor.
"It's okay, the edict will be sent by the university Shilu Heng to Dongyi, and the household servant Cai Qing will be sent to the dog Rong, Yu Ming immediately sent an order to make no mistake in the conscription of the two places, as for the leading personnel, I still have to think about it."
"Obey." Cai Qing is a member of the second prince's faction, and sending him to travel this time is a sign that the emperor values the second prince in the eyes of the ministers.
The eldest prince frowned and didn't say anything.
Emperor Wu glanced at Cao Zhengchun, who immediately felt in his heart and stepped forward: "If there is something to do, play early, and if there is nothing to retreat from." ”
"The ministers are leaving."
After the next dynasty, the eldest prince returned to the palace and told Jia Xu about the matter.
After listening to the words of the eldest prince, Jia Xu smiled slightly and said: "The eldest prince doesn't have to worry, the dogs are barbaric and don't understand the etiquette law, and it is unknown whether Cai Qing can come back alive if he sends it." ”
When Zhao Zilin heard this, his heart suddenly burst into joy, and then he said with a grim face: "Then we will add a fire to him." ”
Cai Qing also found the second prince Zhao Ziyan, "Your Highness, Your Majesty sent Weichen to travel this time, and Weichen must live up to his mission." ”
Zhao Ziyan also knew that this was dangerous, and he also knew his eldest brother's character, and said: "Lord Cai, this thing is dangerous, but if you can come back, it will be a great credit to Sheji, and the palace will send a master to secretly protect it in case of accidents." ”
"The minister's liver and brain are smeared, and he has reported the kindness of His Highness." Cai Qing knelt down to thank him, and Zhao Ziyan did a good job of buying people's hearts.
On the other hand, after Xie An retired from the dynasty, he went straight to Zhao Zili's mansion, and he didn't know what a masterpiece it would be.
But it was discovered by people who were observing in the dark, and one of the men in black said to the leader: "Boss, I have inquired, yesterday King Song gave Xie An a letter of worship, saying that there are good poems for him to appreciate." ”
"I see, but don't be careless." That thing was very important, and the man in black was not sure if it would have anything to do with Xie An.
"It turned out to be Lord Xie, my prince has been waiting for a long time." Gao Xiang calculated the time and waited at the door early in the morning.
"Mr. Gao is polite, I don't know what the prince has to do." Xie An was full of anticipation.
"My lord, please, the prince is in the study." Under the leadership of Gao Xiang, Xie An soon arrived in the study.
Seeing Xie An coming, Zhao Zili, who was sitting on the chair, said: "Lord Xie, it's very punctual, it just so happens that the poem has been written." ”
"The prince is too polite." Xie An stepped forward quickly and looked at the words written by Zhao Zili.
"A few days ago, my housekeeper met several veterans who had retreated from the border, and this king listened to their stories and was moved to write this poem."
Xie An took a closer look, was shocked, and unconsciously read it:
"Once the hardships have been encountered, there are few stars around.
The mountains and rivers are broken and the wind is fluttering, and the life experience is ups and downs.
The panicked beachhead said panic, and the zero ding sighed in the ocean.
Since ancient times, no one has died, leaving Dan to take care of his sweat. ”
Xie An couldn't say a word in shock, he was so good, a good sentence who has not died since ancient times, what a pride and ambition, what a name in history.
"The prince is really a genius!" Xie An was convinced by Zhao Zilimeng's bow.
"Your Excellency is polite, when you see those veterans, you can only sigh at the horror of the war, but the veterans will only slowly wither if they don't die."
Xie An also has a deep understanding that although he is a civil servant, he also has many friends in the army and has heard many stories.
"Oh, by the way, I don't know if my father has any arrangements for the border today."
Xie An didn't think much about it, in his opinion, it was a good thing for Zhao Zili to care more about the country, and he told him about the early dynasty at the moment.
After listening to this, Zhao Zili secretly thought in his heart that although this arrangement was safe, it would not cure the symptoms but not the root cause, and Xiqin would definitely not give Da Zhou a chance, and they were also waiting.
Once Dongyi and Inurong cannot be quickly resolved, Western Qin will definitely not be relentless and will immediately send troops.
With a long sigh, Zhao Zili said: "Lord Xie, you also know that this king is the most reluctant to be political, but he can't bear to let several countries go to war. ”
Xie An's eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to ask, "Could it be that the prince has a way!" ”
"I do have some ideas, but I have to promise me that it is my idea not to reveal anything." Although Zhao Zili wanted to help Emperor Wu solve the border, he didn't want to be known by others.
Xie An also understood that Zhao Zili was trying to avoid trouble, so he immediately agreed: "Okay, Weichen swears never to reveal the prince's secret." ”
Zhao Zili nodded, handed him a letter, and said: "Dog Rong and Dongyi are different, in this letter are two generals who were injured and retired, but the injuries have healed, and there are two of them leading the troops." ”
Xie An opened the letter, looked at it and said, "Mountain Dragon and General Wind, I also know these two, but I didn't expect them to have recovered, it's great." ”
"You know, that's the best." Immediately afterwards, Zhao Zili said: "The dog Rong encountered a disaster, the purpose is at most food and other living materials, Cai Qing's envoy is mostly useless, after the conscription, under the leadership of Fang Jinlong, the confrontation situation is the best, and the next step is trade." ”
"Commerce?" Xie An was a little puzzled, not understanding the reason.
"That's right, the fur and mountain treasures and gold mines of the dog Rong are unparalleled in the world, and if you exchange them for food, the dog will definitely stabilize." Zhao Zili knew that although the national strength of the dog Rong was strong, the combat effectiveness would definitely decline after the catastrophe, and he didn't want to go to war at this time.
"Yes, the inside of the dog Rong is not monolithic, so the dog Rong will definitely withdraw from the army, and it can also make the border of the Great Zhou more prosperous." Xie An can understand it with a little bit of it.
"Dongyi is even better, they have just canonized the crown prince, and what they want to do most at this moment is to quickly achieve results and gain prestige for the prince.
As long as we fight fast and resist their attack, and then send a small force to attack their baggage, we will definitely be able to force them to retreat. ”
"I see, no wonder the prince recommended General Hurricane, General Sun Feng is invincible." Xie An admired the five-body throw to the ground at this time, these seven princes are really both civil and military.
"Lord Wang, if Your Majesty knew that you were so good, he would never let you go to Haining." Xie An slapped his thigh and was heartbroken.
"Lord Xie, this king just wants to be an idle prince, he doesn't want to stay in the capital, I hope that my lord will be successful, and after more than a month, the conscription will be over, and my father must ask who the general is going to do, and you can tell him these words at that time."
Xie An sighed, he had already promised King Song that he could not disobey it, and said: "Weichen understands, Weichen knows what to do." ”
"Lord Xie's words, this king believes in you, in a while, this king will go to the fiefdom, and you can still communicate through letters." Zhao Zili smiled, this Lord Xie used to feel rigid, but now he is still a little cute.
"In the future, if the prince is writing a masterpiece, he must inform Weichen at any time." Xie An is also free and easy, and he will not make it difficult for others.
"Okay, that's a deal."
The two talked for a while, and Xie An also got up and retired.
When he went out, Xie An was in a good mood and shouted loudly: "Who has not died in life since ancient times, and he has left Dan to take care of his sweat." King Song is really talented. ”
Not long after, Xie An spread the story written by Zhao Zili all over the capital, and everyone was excited when they heard this poem, and the shadow that shrouded the hearts of the people in the capital was swept away for a while.
In the palace, Emperor Wu was having dinner with Empress Nangong, and Cao Zhengchun had already told the emperor the poem.
"I didn't expect King Song to be so talented, but it's a pity for his legs." Empress Nangong is still very happy about the poem that Zhao Zili wrote for her.
"Yes, although he is talented, he is limited to writing poems and lyrics." Although Emperor Wu also began to appreciate Zhao Zili's talent, he still felt that it was a small way.
"What Your Majesty said is true, but the imperial capital is now united, which is also a good thing for Your Majesty."
"Well, the people's hearts can be used, in this way, Cao Zhengchun, you go to the Song Dynasty to write poems, and I will exempt him from the tax burden of his fief for three years."
"Yes, the minion will do it." Cao Zhengchun didn't understand what Emperor Wu meant, how much money could be paid in Haining's tax burden for three years, and His Majesty's reward was too light.
Soon, Cao Zhengchun came to the Song Palace, and told Zhao Zili about the emperor's reward.
"Thank you, Father." Zhao Zili didn't feel light, three years was enough for him to build a rich Haining.
"Lord Wang, Your Majesty's will has been delivered, and this is the end."
"Father-in-law Cao walks slowly." Zhao Zili didn't send him now, but now he is a disabled person, and after Gao Xiang sent him to the door, he handed over a generation of silver.
"The prince is too polite," Cao Zhengchun accepted, got into the carriage and returned to the palace.
"Lord Wang, you have also been in the mansion for half a month, and it should arouse suspicion if you don't go out." Shui Rou reminded on the side, after all, even if her leg is broken, not going out will definitely arouse the suspicion of others.
"It's okay, hey, we haven't been out of the city for a long time, so take Chia and Arro, and let's go to Chengwai to have a look." After coming to this world for so long, Zhao Zili has not seen the scenery outside.
"Out of the city, okay, I heard that there is a monk from Yulong Mountain outside the city." Ah Ruo was very happy when he heard that he was going out of the city.
Several people quickly prepared the tools for the trip and happily prepared to go out.
