Chapter 530: The Council Hall (2nd Watch)
If he borrowed 300,000 soldiers and horses without an IOU agreement, the emperor was naturally not at ease, even if he had decided to delegate power to Yan Echo, he couldn't stand Yan Echo's big money and trusted Su Rong.
The heart of the emperor, sometimes the heart is so small, there is no way.
Listening to Su Rong's words, the emperor coughed lightly to hide what he thought in his heart, "It's not so serious as you say." ”
Su Rong didn't expose him either, "Then since you believe in me so much, I won't write it?" That's a hassle-free. ”
The emperor coughed again, "I still have to write it, and let me and the prince explain to the courtiers." ”
Su Rong smiled, she didn't want to continue to tease the emperor, she wasted time coming and going, she originally entered the palace to discuss this matter, and said happily: "Okay." ”
Yan Echo said at this time: "Father, can you invite the old prince, the prince, and the king of Ruian to enter the palace to discuss and draft an agreement together?" Regarding the specific date of the return of 300,000 soldiers and horses, as well as the trade exchange between Daliang and Southern Chu, military cooperation, joining forces against the Great Wei and so on. ”
The emperor nodded, "Very good, just do as you say, not only the three of them, but invite the six Shangshu to the council hall together." ”
Yan echoed his head and commanded to the outside world.
Su Rong has no opinion.
So, the emperor, the crown prince, and Su Rong sat in the Yangxin Hall for a while, and after gossiping, they estimated the time when the courtiers entered the palace, and went to the council hall together.
When the three of them arrived, the courtiers also happened to come, and the old protector came the fastest, saw Su Rong, and said to her: "You girl, quietly returned to Beijing, and didn't send anyone to inform me." ”
"I was going to go to the Guogong Mansion tomorrow, but I didn't expect it to be a coincidence, so I saw you in the palace today." Su Rong smiled.
The old protector knew that she had just returned to Beijing, and the East Palace at home was all going to walk around, and it was the turn of the Protector Mansion, and it was indeed tomorrow, so he nodded, "How many days can I stay?" ”
Su Rong stretched out three fingers, "Three days." ”
The old protector sighed, "Tomorrow at noon, go to the mansion for dinner." ”
Su Rong nodded, "Okay." ”
When King Ruian saw Su Rong, he praised him greatly, saying that Miss Su Qi was amazing, and asked about the Zhang family's sister-in-law Zhang Mao and concubine Zhang Yun, who were really taken in by her? How did she convince the two to join her?
The old protector didn't say anything about it, and no one in the female relatives of the protector's mansion revealed their tone to the outside, so King Ruian and the others also listened to the news, and the rumors from outside spread into the capital, and they spread one after another, but they didn't know the specifics.
The emperor knew some, but it wasn't that detailed, because the old protector didn't tell the emperor in too much detail, but Yan Echo knew the details, but he wouldn't say it outside.
Su Rong saw that King Ruian asked, and he didn't hide it, didn't say anything about the details such as the process of taking refuge, and briefly said the reason why Zhang Mao and Zhang Yun took refuge in her.
He said to Su Rong with admiration: "The princess is powerful, a soldier who surrenders without a fight, a soldier without blood, and you have learned the art of war well." Killing people is not as good as royalty, and it is the best policy. ”
Su Rong smiled, "Today on the street, I met Xie Xiaowangye, he was also very curious, and said that he invited me to eat wine, but I only had three days to stay in Beijing, if he didn't come back within three days, he couldn't drink this wine, and I couldn't drink it. Otherwise, in a few years, I should not return to the main beam. ”
Speaking of his son Xie Lin, King Ryan was very satisfied that he had grown into a much better heir to the Ryan Palace, he smiled and nodded, "Okay, this king will send someone to tell him." ”
Qin Taifu had been waiting aside, and when he saw that Su Rong had finished talking to the old protector and the king of Ruian, he spoke: "Miss Su Qi, the old man wants to ask about the old man's disciple. ”
Su Rong looked at Mrs. Qin, a little guilty, Zhou Gu could be regarded as pouring into Mrs. Qin's painstaking cultivation, but she abducted the person, she arched her hand to Mrs. Qin, with a modest posture, "Old lady, leave the palace later, my carriage will send you back to Qin's mansion, let's talk on the way?" ”
After all, about Zhou Gu, I can't finish talking about it for a while.
Mrs. Qin nodded in agreement, "Okay." ”
The people entered the council hall and took their seats in the main hall in turn at the long tables. Su Rong naturally stepped into this hall as the princess of Southern Chu.
The emperor sat on the top, Su Rong sat next to Yan Echo, and his seat was level, although Southern Chu is a subject country of Daliang, but everyone knows that the king of Southern Chu is qualified to sit on an equal footing with the emperor, if it were not for the king of Southern Chu because of the Zhenmin county lord asking for help, the Liang would have been swallowed by the Great Wei, and the king of Southern Chu was later greatly saddened by the death of the Zhenmin county lord, although he did not offend the Liang, but he did not have any respect, and did not separate the title of the subject country, it was just for the sake of the Zhenmin county lord to protect the Liang.
If there were no Zhenmin County Lord and Su Rong, the two countries would have been at odds with each other, and they would have nothing to do with each other.
The relationship between the two sides is naturally equal, Su Rong knew that this was the seat that Yan Echo specially ordered someone to arrange, originally according to the status of a subject country that had not detached, she should sit under him, but obviously he arranged it like this, and he also understood that it was impossible for Nan Chu to be under the Liang all the time, especially after Su Rong took the throne.
Su Rong admitted his feelings, and sat down without changing his face.
The emperor glanced at Yan Echo and Su Rong, but didn't say anything, and said that Daliang is now fighting more soldiers and horses after the rebellion to create military salary pressure, and said that Dawei is eyeing the enemy, although the border is not fighting this time, but it is not guaranteed that Dawei will find an opportunity to invade the border, so the soldiers and horses cannot be disbanded, and it is easy to disband and repatriate, but if it is difficult to recruit troops again, especially temporary recruitment, how can it be as good as soldiers and horses who strengthen training every day, so they cannot be disbanded and repatriated, and they mentioned the counterinsurgency Zhang Ping, Su Rong is the first merit, plus the pressure of the treasury, As well as the safety of her trip to Southern Chu, and the current internal situation in Southern Chu is unfavorable to Su Rong, Daliang should help him, in order to stabilize Su Rong's throne in Southern Chu in the future and jointly reign in Great Wei. Therefore, Daliang plans to borrow 300,000 soldiers and horses to Su Rong and take them to Southern Chu, and today he summoned all Aiqing to discuss how to sign an agreement with Su Rong.
After listening to the emperor's words, everyone was in an uproar except for the old protector.
The old protector of the country and the old god were there, listening to the shocked voices of everyone gasping and inhaling, he only sighed, "Hey, there is no silver in the treasury." ”
With just this sentence, everyone was silent, and the treasury of Daliang had no silver, which was something that everyone in Daliang's courtiers knew. Recently, the military salaries, grain, and grass needed to be supplied, and they all relied on copying the homes of the eldest prince and the second prince to fill the treasury with countless fallen courtiers, so as to solve the temporary military supply problem, and then if you raise 800,000 soldiers and horses, Daliang really can't afford to raise them.
Babies, monthly passes, what's the matter?
