Chapter 34: Usurpation

Corruption, no penalty for defeat, no reward for victory. But there is no punishment for the general, and the punishment is the soldier. Those who do not have awards are soldiers, and those who have awards are generals. The disconnect between the soldiers and the generals is serious. The soldiers have no fighting spirit. In addition, there are no capable generals. Tong Guan, the eunuch, turned out to be the most capable general, which cannot but be said to be a tragedy.

Of course, due to the suppression of force, many outstanding young generals who could have been eliminated from the army. Besides, the army west of the Great Song Dynasty was the most powerful, but the generals reached the era of lack of success. In the Southern Song Dynasty, the imperial court was slightly heavy on military force, and a group of generals were grown, who were already able to compete with the Jin army and have the strength to recover the lost territory.

There is also the insulting measure of tattooing, and the problem of the army is that the civil officials and eunuchs sent by the imperial court to supervise the army. Although Ouyang didn't understand, he also knew that the civil officials mainly decided whether to fight or not, and the military generals decided how to fight, so that they could be powerful.

The real lethality is that there is no strong commander. Looking at Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there was a time when the Han Qing swept the Huns. After Han Qing's death, there were no generals in the country, and he was defeated repeatedly. In the end, although the Xiongnu were forced away, they also dragged themselves along.

Ouyang didn't ask again, the above questions were not something that he or even the emperor could solve at all. This time, he didn't care about the princess's methods, but studied this subject very carefully. He also knew that it was the Jin State that had just established the state name this year that destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty, so he no longer paid attention to the strength of the Great Song Dynasty, and began to study the situation of the Western Xia, Liao, and the rising Jin State. From customs and customs, he asked. Although he is not an angry youth, he still has at least the consciousness, and he will definitely run fast in battle, but it does not mean that he will not contribute in a safe situation.

Before you know it, the Spring Festival has arrived. Ouyang was very surprised to find that the princess's outer mansion was full of joy, and it was a very normal New Year's weather. And the inner government didn't even post the couplet. And these days, Ouyang found that not only the three of them entered the inner mansion, but also some mysterious people often went in and out. All of these people entered the Jiaguo Palace in a sedan chair and did not show half of their faces. And the princess doesn't stay in the house all the time, and will often go out. To talk about the New Year, it is normal to visit each other, but Ouyang always feels weird. As for Xiaoqing, he basically doesn't come to the hospital, and Ouyang rarely sees it.

Fortunately, the princess did not forget that there were guests in her own home for the New Year. In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, a banquet was set up in the palace and three people were invited. And the princess herself is separated by a screen and used it with everyone.

Ouyang wondered, why is it so mysterious? Isn't it just a woman? I haven't seen a three-legged toad, and I haven't seen too many two-legged bare-ass women.

"Today is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and if the three princes have any requests, they can put them forward." The princess said behind the screen: "I am deeply disturbed by the grievances that everyone is here to celebrate the New Year. ”

The other two sons immediately politely said that it was right to share the princess's worries. And the brocade food is already very satisfied.

Ouyang raised his hand and asked, "Can you send Master Li to my bed?" ”

"......" The princess was furious, this guy never spit out the words that he listened to, so he was still Xie Yuan. But...... How did he know that there was a famous prostitute named Master Li? The princess said, "Is the woman I send no better than a prostitute?" ”

The eldest sister is mainly famous. Your palace maids are all A, B, C, and D, and you can't greet them with your broken body in the Song Dynasty, right? Who are they? Historical celebrities who have been famous for thousands of years, and they are happy all night, so that they are worthy of their centennial tour of the Song Dynasty. Ouyang smiled: "If it's reluctant, forget it." ”

"Don't provoke, this palace doesn't eat this set." The princess asked, "Are there any other requirements?" ”

"Can you send me to Master Li's bed?" Ouyang changed his request.

"Three-bit slow use." The princess stood up and said, "This palace is tired, so rest first." "She's self-contained and doesn't care about anyone.

"It's boring." Ouyang sighed and continued to sweep through the dishes on the table. If you ask for anything, you will turn your face and be unreasonable.

"......" Zhang and Li looked at each other, and they couldn't understand why the princess tolerated Ouyang's rude behavior again and again.

In fact, don't talk about them, Ouyang himself doesn't know very well, he is very angry when he hears the princess's voice. After being full of wine and food, Ouyang patted his belly and left, and an internal guard followed and sent Ouyang to the courtyard where he lived. Ouyang entered the house and saw that the hot water was ready, so he let the two palace maids leave. After getting along for so many days, the two palace maids knew Ouyang's habits, and left without saying any nonsense.

Lying in the bathtub, Ouyang couldn't help but sigh. He is basically ready for the main answers. Attaching to a royal figure should have been a very happy thing, but Ouyang didn't feel happy. He is an ego man in modern times, with ideas and ideals, and he knows what he wants and what he likes. He doesn't like the feeling of being held in the palm of his hand. But...... What's the solution? This is a feudal society, the imperial power is supreme, who would offend a princess for themselves?

Climbing out of the bath tub, Ouyang took a bath towel and walked around the room while wiping his side. Although it was winter, there was no winter in the royal family, and the heating supplies were well equipped. Wipe it dry and put it on your waist, and you're done. But he didn't expect that there was someone in the bedroom, and when he walked in, he was startled, Xiaoqing actually sat on the edge of the bed and lowered his head.

Ouyang picked up his clothes and put them on, and didn't look at Xiaoqing and asked, "The princess asked you to replace Master Li?" ”

Xiaoqing didn't speak, stood up and slowly undressed.

"Get out!" Ouyang said: "Don't pay attention to that dead three-eight." Get out. ”

Xiaoqing ignored it and put the untied clothes on the side of the bed.

Ouyang shouted: "Someone! ”

"In! What does Childe command? "The inner guard is outside the house.

"Tell the princess that she can die."

"This ......" the Great Khan of the Inner Guard.

"It's okay." Ouyang sighed. Walked up to Xiaoqing and helped him put on his clothes and said, "I'm not a hooligan. It's not going to do that. Ouyang turned it around, and then said while putting on his pants: "This is called forcing Liang to be a prostitute, I wonder if you are so good at martial arts, why do you mix with that eighth woman?" ”

"Actually, don't say that about the princess." Xiaoqing asked quietly, "Do you know Wang Xu?" ”

Ouyang shook his head: "I don't know." ”

"He is a concubine, married to the eldest princess of Wei State, the daughter of Yingzong, and was named the captain of the concubine. This man was a dissolute man and behaved in a very disorderly manner. Although the princess is gentle and virtuous and serves her in-laws wholeheartedly, Wang Shu pampers the concubines, so that they contradict the princess many times. Emperor Shenzong twice demoted Wang Shu to an official for this reason, but he did not repent, and even had fun with his concubine in front of the princess when the princess was sick. Such a person is a close friend of the emperor today. The two looked for flowers and willows, and often frequented the Fanglou. Poor Na Wei eldest princess was bullied by her concubine at home. Once I couldn't help it, so I sued the emperor, but I didn't think that the emperor would blame him for not serving the prince. Xiaoqing said: "Although the princess now responds to all her requests, it is because Emperor Zhezong still has a group of old courtiers in the court. If there are a few more days, the princess will definitely end up like the eldest princess of Wei in the future. ”

"......" Ouyang gasped: "Don't tell me that the princess wants to usurp the throne." "In a coma, I was involved in this kind of thing, and the insider of this kind of thing, whether it is success or failure, is generally the fate of being clicked.
