The Imperial City of the Summer Capital.

The vermilion gate reveals the ancient rhyme, the white jade steps are full of the heartbreaking falling Ying, the colorful glazed tiles reflect the brilliant brilliance, the pavilions and pavilions, the small bridges and flowing water, are scattered.

The layers of finely carved jade relief palace towers, countless elegant corridors of all sizes, and gorgeous gardens decorated with exotic flowers and plants.

Even if the little eunuchs and palace maids who have lived in the palace for several years often have ridiculous things that recognize the wrong way, it can be seen that the palace is vast.

However, this palace was originally built by Da Yan, and it cost a lot of money to cut down all the tall trees within a radius of 100 miles, and now it is just a wedding dress for others.

Golden Dragon Palace.

The civil and military officials are all holding wat boards, ranking on the left and right, and the needles in the hall can be heard, not too quiet.

Emperor Xia Yu Daocheng sat on the dragon chair, with a pair of bright eyes on his old face, looking down on the ministers.

"Your Majesty, it's time to start a court."

The chief eunuch next to the dragon chair whispered.

Yu Daocheng's eyes swept over the ministers and slowly spoke:

"Ladies and gentlemen, what has happened recently, if not, retreat."

The voice is calm, but not angry.

"The minister has his own music." A minister in a scarlet robe slowly stepped out of the ranks.

"Say it, Fan Qing."

The person who opened his mouth was Fan Yan, a scholar of Wenchang Pavilion University.

I saw Fan Yan seriously speak: "This year, there was a sudden drought, and the minister has asked His Majesty to transfer the world's grain into Suhu, but there are cults in the south, which have repeatedly interrupted the grain route, so that the grain transportation plan will be in vain. ”

"Cult?"

Yu Daocheng's eyes narrowed, with a little doubt, obviously it was the first time he had heard of it.

"Yes, Your Majesty, this cult is called the Raven Sect, and it has risen on a large scale in the south, which is extremely unfavorable to the governance of Yousi, and they can even be seen in the capital." At this time, a minister came out to explain.

"It's just a cult, send someone to solve it, spread my will, and let Tsing Yi Wei thoroughly investigate the Raven Sect, how many are suppressed." Yu Daocheng said lightly.

"Yes."

The minister nodded yes.

This Tsing Yi Guard is an institution specially established to act as the eyes and ears of the emperor, which can be regarded as the imperial guard, but it is one level higher and has a high degree of intimacy.

There are many talented people in it, and there are also unsatisfactory cultivators, Keqing of the Immortal Sect, or monks who are struggling in the bottleneck, they really can't do it, so they enter Tsing Yi Wei and receive a lot of honorarium.

Among them, the most famous, of course, is the four gods of Tsing Yi headed by them, all of whom are building foundation realms, have a lot of ability, and their status is still above the imperial commander, and they are the emperor's personal bodyguards, and they only obey Yu Daocheng's orders.

"The minister also plays." This time it was a military attache in a scarlet robe, with a lion tattoo on his chest, and said loudly:

"There is a small country named Gulan in the west, which has repeatedly harassed the border and plundered the spiritual mines and iron mines in the west, which is really rampant."

"The Qur'an?"

Yu Daocheng muttered: "If I remember correctly, wasn't he driven to the west by the Mobei alien race, and he even sent envoys to pay tribute the year before last." ”

"The emperor is right, in recent years, after the Gulan people crossed west, they settled down, and a new king came to power this year.

It's just that the king's wolf ambition turned a blind eye to the theft of the border, and insisted that it was a thief and cholera, and he didn't know anything about it. ”

After hearing this, Yu Daocheng groaned slightly, tapped his fingers on the dragon chair, and said for a moment: "Shameless small country, destroy the loss of wealth, and do not destroy the hateful, let the army in the west clean it up by itself." ”

The scarlet-robed military attache bowed and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, there are no generals in the west, and I am afraid of disaster." ”

Yu Daocheng nodded slowly, knowing what he meant.

Now that the forces of Great Xia are evenly distributed, there is a great prince guarding the northern border, and the troops rank first, and it is impossible to move to defend the alien races in the north.

The Central Plains of Gyeonggi, including the passes in the east, have more than 100,000 Yulin and Su Guard Gongwei, which are also immovable.

Not long ago, he transferred part of the Fifth Army of the General built by the Southern Princess to the west, just to make up for the vacancy in the west.

Now it seems that there are no soldiers and no generals, and it really can't be done.

No matter how you say it, there are nearly 100,000 troops, and it is not safe to hand them over to any general.

At this time, Liu Longqing, the head of the household department, saw that Emperor Xia's face was changing, so he slowly came out and said: "Your Majesty, the frequent transfer of troops, the consumption of grain and grass and manpower, are very great, the emperor might as well send a trustworthy person to command the army in the west." ”

"That's what I thought, but I couldn't find the right person."

Yu Daocheng glanced at Liu Longqing and was very relieved that Liu Aiqing actually thought of going with him.

"The emperor might as well let King Yan go to the west to prepare the frontier, he has followed the emperor since before the founding of the country, and his qualifications and abilities are sufficient." One minister suggested.

"But His Royal Highness King Yan wants to command the army of the capital, how can he have kung fu?"

"Can you still find a candidate!? It's just a temporary transfer, and it's not that it can't be transferred back. ”

Listening to the heated discussion of the ministers, Yu Daocheng was silent, and his mind began to ponder.

He let the eldest son guard the northern border and let the second son guard the capital, both of which were exquisite.

The eldest son has been afraid of him since he was a child, he listens to him in everything, and he knows very well that as long as he is in one day, the eldest son will not dare to make trouble.

And the second son, who has been silent since he was a child, has an extremely intelligent brain, and has his own opinions on everything, second only to his daughter.

Therefore, the second son can only be confined in the capital, ostensibly to command the Gyeonggi army, but in fact it is a false position.

As for his wayward daughter, she can be regarded as the most helpless choice.

It is not impossible to let the second son go to prepare the western region, and in a few months, how much waves can be made.

When the time comes, it will be the best solution.

"Alright, stop arguing."

Yu Daocheng snorted, and the ministers present immediately quieted down.

He swept around and announced the result: "Tomorrow, let King Yan set off and go to the west to prepare for military affairs." ”

"Yes."

All the ministers said in unison.

"Why am I listening to all the troublesome things, and not the things that go well?" Yu Daocheng looked a little dissatisfied.

Liu Longqing, the head of the household, immediately stepped forward and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, it's time to hold your 60th birthday, you were seriously ill a few days ago, so it was postponed, and now, you say yes, Lord Wang." ”

The book of the Ministry of Rites on the side was also listed, and he responded to the sound.

"What Lord Liu said is right."

After a pause, he added: "In addition, the day before yesterday, the Wuji Immortal Sect sent a disciple to give a longevity pill, saying that it can increase longevity, recuperate and recuperate, and help the emperor to recuperate and recuperate. ”

Hearing about Da Shou, Yu Daocheng's wrinkled old face finally showed a smile.

"Oh? Then thank you for me. ”

Wuji Immortal Sect is one of the five great immortal sects in ancient times, on the history of the sect, before the immortal calendar, it is rumored that there is an experience of immortal ascension among the sects, which is a well-deserved great sect.

The relationship between Great Xia and the sect is still very close, and it is generally based on cooperation.

One is a ruler of the world, and the other is a monk.

Everyone does not interfere with the river water, and everyone takes what he needs.

The sect doesn't care who is on the dragon chair, as long as the world is stable, it is enough to send something occasionally to show your friendly intentions.

Great Xia will not even manage the sect, and the affairs of the people are enough headaches.

Liu Longqing bowed again: "This national birthday, according to the etiquette system, the emperor will summon the old man to go to Beijing for a banquet, first, it can show His Majesty's character of respecting the elderly, and second, it can also let the world know His Majesty's old man's ambition to reach thousands of miles, and secondly, it can also show the benevolence and righteousness of my filial piety and respect for the elderly." ”

Yu Daocheng listened to it, nodded approvingly, and felt that it made sense.

After listening to this, Fan Yan on the side immediately retorted: "All the old people, their actions are mostly inconvenient, and they travel thousands of miles, I'm afraid that it won't cost their old lives, besides, now that the catastrophe has not passed, holding a big birthday is probably a loss of money and labor!" ”

Liu Longqing chuckled lightly and sneered: "What does Lord Fan mean, that is, the emperor's sixtieth birthday does not need to be done?" Or do you have no emperor in your heart? ”

"How could I mean that! I just don't advocate big things. Fan Yan retorted angrily.

Seeing that the two of them were arguing again, Yu Daocheng frowned and said:

"It's okay to eat more people, it's a big deal, I pay out of my own pocket, what Liu Aiqing said is not unreasonable, it is indeed necessary to teach young people to respect filial piety and respect the elderly, if you can come, you don't have to force it if you can't, so it's always okay, right?"

Paying out of pocket is not taken from the people, and the nature has not changed.

But Fan Yan learned the lesson of the last time and became smarter, so he didn't refuse directly, but made a bend: "The minister feels that this matter still needs to be considered." ”

Yu Daocheng waved his hand and said:

"Don't think about it, the specific Zhang Luo matters and the state banquet arrangements will be handed over to Liu Aiqing and Wang Aiqing."

"Retreat."
