Nearly 100 years since the founding of the Great Xia, since the founding of Taizu, the four generations of emperors have all been brave emperors.

The majesty of the Celestial Empire has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and Nanyue, as a subject country of Great Xia, dared to provoke the prince of the Celestial Dynasty, and even dared to clamor to attack the Celestial Empire, for Yao Shan, this is simply a big joke.

But is it really a joke? Jia Cong doesn't think so.

Compared with Great Xia, the clamor of the Nanyue Kingdom is as arrogant as Yelang. But in fact, according to the secret report of the Long Guard, at the end of the 49th year of Zhaowu, South Vietnam took the opportunity to start a war, annexed several small surrounding countries, and established itself as emperor, indirectly controlling the military and political power of Siam.

It can be said that the current South Vietnam basically has the strength to resist the Central Plains in the north.

At least in the case of not dispatching elites such as the 12 guards of the Beijing camp, relying only on the army of Lingnan, it is very likely that the imperial court will not be able to break through the defense line of South Vietnam.

After all, the dense forests in the southwest are enough for the imperial army to toss.

Jia Cong fell into deep thought, and Jia Shiyi sent Yao Shan out of the house. Because Baoyu received a family banquet, it didn't make him happy.

The envoys of the Nanyue Kingdom shouted outside the palace gate to enter the Central Plains, which could not hide the envoys of the vassal state in Beijing.

The imperial court was put in the air, and if it was not good to teach South Vietnam a lesson, how would it coerce the Quartet in the future?

If you don't fight, your prestige will be damaged; Let's fight, the current situation in the court is actually not very good.

Jia Cong could already predict what the imperial court would do: the Ministry of Rites sent an envoy to Shen Qi, and if Nanyue bowed his head and admitted his mistake, he would thunder and rain and Xiao Shen Yu would be over for the time being.

But the current strength of the South Vietnamese State has skyrocketed, and it has reached the point where the South Vietnamese envoys have swelled to this point, how can they bow their heads?

There is going to be a war, and this has almost become the consensus of the important ministers of the DPRK and China. Master Pardon went to Ningguo Mansion when he came back from the palace, and the two most discerning people in the Jia family were not optimistic about this sudden conflict.

Fortunately, Jia Jiaerlang is old enough, and he is basically in the Jiangnan Army, and the old and young who stay in Beijing should not be called into the army.

"Dad, what does the palace say?"

Jia Cong brought hot water to his father to soak his feet, and the tired look on his face was a little more than before.

"Those sour Confucians are really crazy, they actually asked His Majesty to mobilize a large army to march south, and they don't want to think about it, what kind of virtue are the twelve guards of the Beijing camp at the moment, they really send 108,000 yuan, and they must not hollow out the Beijing camp."

The old man has been rectifying the Beijing camp these days, but he has been peaceful for a long time, and the Beijing camp accounts for two or three out of ten just eating empty salaries, which is not counting the old and weak who are mixed in it.

Troop transfer? In less than three or five years, the Beijing camp is half an empty shelf, and it looks good when it is put out, but it may not be better than the local health center when it is pulled out.

Jia Cong reminded: "My son feels that there is something wrong with the envoys of the South Vietnamese Kingdom, and since he dares to shout like this, it means that he has the confidence to shout. If this battle really starts, it may not go as smoothly as it did ten years ago."

"Smooth? How is that possible?"

Alas!

Jia Yu sighed: "Back then, the two divisions of the land and water went hand in hand, and that's it, 30,000 horses were killed in the battle, and 70,000 people were wounded. The three-year war has even drained the household department, and now the DPRK and China have money?"

The prestige of the current emperor is far less than that of the emperor, and the emperor has no money, and the gang of wealthy businessmen and tycoons in Jiangnan will hold the silver and beg the old man to accept it, and now His Majesty will not use a knife to rob it......

Knock knock!

"General, there is a decree in the palace to order you to enter the palace to meet you."

The report outside the door made Jia Cong look at the sky outside the window in surprise: "It's almost night......

"San'er, go and rest, go and see what's going on for your father."

The old man wiped his feet clean, put on his shoes and socks, and planned to enter the palace. After thinking for a while, he beckoned, "Someone, put on Bemb's armor!"

Jia Cong was shocked, "Dad, you don't want to take the initiative to ask for help!"

On weekdays, whether it is to go to the court or summoned, most of the pardon lords are just wearing python robes, do you still need to ponder the meaning of this armor?

I saw that the eldest lord touched his son's brain, and said with a smile: "Whether you go or not, naturally Your Majesty has the final say, but our family's loyalty."

It's time to put it on the bright side. Besides, I'm afraid that I won't need a general in the Beijing camp for the time being, and I'm afraid that I will choose a commander in the Lingnan Army."

That's true, but Jia Cong is still nervous.

After sending the father on the horse and seeing it away, Rong Xitang heard the news, and the old lady sent a mandarin duck to call Jia Cong.

The girls were originally accompanying the old lady Gao Le, but suddenly heard that Jia Yu came to the palace, and heard that Jia Yu entered the palace in armor, this scene was too familiar to the old lady.

As soon as Jia Cong entered the door, he heard the old lady ask worriedly, "Brother Cong, but something is wrong?"

"The Thirteenth Master beat the envoy of Nanyue in front of the palace gate today, and the envoy openly shouted for troops to enter the Central Plains......

"What?"

Smack.

The old lady's teacup fell to the ground, and she muttered, "This is going to war!" Chinese Net

The atmosphere in the room took a sharp turn, and the clever girls all stopped playing.

Bao Chai suddenly said, "Actually, this was foreshadowed a few years ago......

Well?

The old lady looked at Baochai in surprise: "Bao girl, where do you start with this?"

I only heard Bao Chai tell me: "Most of my family's business to the south is through the ports of Nanyue, and in the first year of Yuan You, the king of Nanyue, Nguyen Khi, has already usurped the title of emperor, and annexed Dong Li, Vientiane and other countries, and it is even rumored that the kings of Siam are imprisoned in Thang Long. If this matter hadn't been put on the surface, it would have been easy to say, but now I'm afraid I won't be able to do it without fighting."

Rites are the foundation of the Celestial Empire's rule over all nations.

The king of Nanyue has arrogated the throne, how can the Celestial Empire continue to forbear?

As Baochai said, the core of the controversy in the palace of diligence is this ritual word.

The first assistant Wei Qinghe could not suppress the material discussion of the court, from the second rank of the Ministry of Rites to the seventh grade of the six departments, all of them advised to send troops, and the arrogance of the South Vietnamese State must be completely extinguished.

The old commanders of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies rarely closed their mouths, until a stunned young man mocked the soft bones of the military, which was regarded as stabbing the lung tube of the general's side.

The Qinzheng Palace was inextricably beaten, and Liu Heng brushed his sleeves away in a fit of anger, so the matter could only be put on hold temporarily.

The emperor was angry and left, and Wei Qinghe could only come forward to take charge. He asked the Ministry of Rites to draw up an edict, first reprimanding the South Vietnamese envoys for their great rebellion and expelling them. Subsequently, he sent an envoy to South Vietnam to apply for the ......

These are all conventions, and nothing new.

Everyone skillfully followed the step-by-step order, and the Chinese Wu was now waiting for the decision of the two saints in the palace, whether to send the soldiers to the southwest or wipe the spit on their faces and continue to endure.

There was a person hanging from the big tree by the Taiye Pool, and Jia Yu didn't have time to see the other party's eyes asking for help.

Lao Thirteen has caused *** annoyance to the military generals this time, unless this battle is won in one go, otherwise if there is a stalemate for a month in the middle of the battle, Great Xia is very likely to be defeated in the southwest.

"Brother Enhou, don't go, help me plead for mercy, I've been hanging for an afternoon......

Jia Yu stopped and glanced at Liu Ke, who was still alive and well: "What are you doing to provoke the monkeys of South Vietnam? You don't know the current situation in the court, it's good, it's not fighting, it's not fighting, it's not ......."

Liu Ke hung in the air, gritted his teeth and scolded: "It's not the old fourteen, originally I just whipped the envoys of South Vietnam a few times, but this guy fanned the flames next to me, I didn't get dizzy for a while, and I didn't hold back and beat harder."

"What did he say to make you so angry?"

"Didn't the Dragon Guards catch a few black monkeys from Nanyue, and that hibiscus paste is also from Nanyue, so they thought about snorting monkeys to vent their anger. I didn't expect Lao Fourteen, this dog thing, to say that I have this kind of guts, the princess was almost killed, and even the enemy didn't dare to kill him......

After listening to Liu Ke's explanation, Jia Yu rolled his eyes.

This man is stupid today, and he doesn't want to talk to a stupid person.

But it's a little strange that Liu Xi suddenly came out like this. What benefits can provoke the old thirteen to kill the envoys of the South Vietnamese Kingdom?

Is it to use the crime of killing the envoy without permission?

Revenge for the burning of the Cui Red Mansion?

"Jia Yu, are you wearing such a dress to ask me to fight?"

I don't know when, the Emperor Taishang has slowly walked over with Liu Heng's support.

He glanced at his bastard son hanging from the tree and asked in a deep voice.

Jia Yu immediately knelt down and clenched his fists, and said loudly: "Jia Yu of Rongguo Mansion, I am willing to die for the saint and His Majesty!"

The silver armor on his body shone dazzlingly in the afterglow of the setting sun, which made the old saint feel full of emotion.

This bastard is the head of the generals he personally selected for his eldest son, but he has been stumbling for several years for various reasons.

The old man sighed and patted Jia Yu on the shoulder: "Are you really willing to go?"

Jia Yu raised his head, solemn and bitter: "If the minister goes, he can at least guarantee to do his best."

A war that cannot be won quickly will have an eighty-success rate, Jia Yu truthfully expressed his concerns.

The old man did not blame, but patted him on the shoulder to get him up.

Liu Heng glared at the old thirteen who was hanging on the tree and pretending to be a baby, and said to Jia Yu, "Today's edict for you to enter the palace is not for you to lead the troops to the battle. I have discussed with my father, this battle is not to be fought, but I can't gamble with the luck of the court."

The three of them walked slowly along the Taiye Pool, and the emperor told Jia Yu about his plans.

The battle will definitely be fought, but troops will not be transferred from the Beijing camp.

The imperial court will issue an order to transfer soldiers and horses from Liaodong, Hexi and Sichuan and Shu, and King Shui Rong of Beijing in the north will be the main commander, and the south will not be a minister.

The purpose of Zhao Jia's pardon into the palace was to let him speed up the rectification of the twelve guards in Beijing, and strive to restore Jingying to the level of its heyday within a year.

It can't restore the heyday, at least it can deter the disobedience of the surrounding feudal towns.

"My intuition tells me that the rise and disobedience of South Vietnam, as well as today's events, are driven by a pair of black hands. Whether it's the thirteenth or the fourteenth, they've all been tricked by others!"

Jia Yu asked tentatively, "Your Majesty is suspicious of the water dissolution, or Qi Wenhua?"

"It's both, the purpose of the Shui Rong Pingnan Sect is to see how much strength the Beijing County Royal Mansion hides."

The emperor's move is a yang scheme, if Shui Rong doesn't want to expose the strength of the Beijing County Palace, there is a chance that this son will be defeated.

But if he loses, he must be punished, which is also unacceptable to the Beijing County Palace.

Putting aside the risk of exposure, sacrificing his own strength to work for the old Liu family, can the water be able to endure it?

Sure enough, the hearts of people who play politics are black!

However, the old man felt that the idea of the second saint was really fucking happy, and the water dissolved this young man's yin tricks one after another, and this time he was going to be yin again.

But......

"Sage, Your Majesty, the minister has a worry, if Shui Rong takes the opportunity to collude with South Vietnam, won't the southwest be in chaos?"

I only heard the emperor smile: "Didn't Niu Jizong rectify the Lingnan army in Guangdong? I will issue an order for his troops to enter Guangxi, and Qin Yuliang's son will also go south with the army, in Sichuan and Gui, to recruit local soldiers for the imperial court into Yunnan and Guizhou to support the imperial army. Even if it is defeated, it will not let the flames of war burn into the territory of Great Xia."

The last pilgrimage in September almost ended in waves of quarrels.

The Son of Heaven issued an edict, and Wang Shuirong of Beijing County was the general of Pingnan, leading an army of 200,000 (in fact, Liaodong Town, Xining Town, and the local guards in the land of Sichuan and Shu totaled less than 100,000 troops. Expedition to South Vietnam, conquest of non-ministers.

After the holy decree was issued, Shui Rong could still hide his anger and unwillingness, but the most angry ones had to belong to Qian Kangshi, the king of Dongping County, and Qi Wenhua, the king of Xining County.

Because it is very clear in the holy decree, 20,000 troops from Liaodong Town under the command of the Wangfu of Dongping County were requisitioned, and 20,000 troops from Xining Town under the command of the Wangfu of Xining County were brought under the command of Shuilu......

Kill three birds with one stone, can the two kings not be angry?

What can anger do? The court occupies the righteousness, the two kings just don't obey, and they hurried to the palace of Beijing County as soon as the court arrived, as for whether to go to war or secret discussion, the dragon guards didn't bother to care.

Liu

Ke was hung on the crooked neck tree of the Dragon Head Palace for two whole days, and all the families that were smashed into the palace temporarily died down.

The old sage personally took the whip to give them a breath, and ordered Liu Ke to compensate according to the price, so they naturally had to go down such a high ladder.

However, Liu Ke seems to have decided to be a lai, and he didn't go back to Longshou Palace, and anyone who went to the Zhongshun Palace's mansion to ask for money was beaten out by Princess Cui with a stick.

Especially the faithful king Liu Chen, he went to ask for money as soon as he received the news, and was directly knocked out of the brain by Princess Cui, and this time Princess Cui's gentle personality completely collapsed.

Ergou is indeed a good material to be a spy, and he talked to Jia Cong, who was squatting outside the gate of Rongguo Mansion, about all kinds of gossip in the capital.

"Third Master, hibiscus paste is really so powerful that it can turn people into ghosts?"

The most ferocious thing in the capital in recent days is the forbidden thing, and the number of people who smoke it far exceeds Jia Cong's imagination.

The palace decreed that anyone who reported sucking could get a reward for silver, and the people who went to the county government and the government to report every day were like carp crossing the river, and the people who were forcibly taken by the government to quit the river had reached thousands.

The collective forced sucking of Zhengdongfang has given Tai Hospital the best experimental ground, even if the most effective medicine for the disease has not yet been developed, but it finally has a clue. The Y gentlemen who were dragged outside the city to concentrate on quitting at least had the hope of quitting.

However, the harm of this hibiscus paste still failed to attract the attention of the people, and everyone only regarded this matter as a way to make a small fortune, and they were even happier than the New Year to get a reward from the government.

Some people also laughed and said that it would be nice if there were more people who smoked......

Jia Cong glanced at the eager Ergou: "Become a ghost? No, it's worse than a ghost, a ghost is at least dead, and if you take hibiscus ointment, it's better to live than to die!"

Boom Boom Boom Boom ......

The sound of horses' hooves interrupted the idle conversation between the master and servant, and Jia Cong looked up to see that it was Jia Jiu and the others who were following his father.

"Uncle Nine!"

I saw Jia Jiu turn over and dismount, clench his fists and say, "Little Third Master, the Lord will invite Little Third Master to go to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion."

Jia Cong asked puzzledly, "Let me go to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion?" What's wrong?"

I saw Jia Jiu smile proudly: "The general has trained the new army according to the military training program drawn up by the third master before, and now it can be regarded as having preliminary results. Today, I want to perform martial arts to show the old commanders of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, how can I miss the great hero of the little third master."

"By the way, the general said, let the little third master wear armor and go, you can't let the old handsome people look down on the little third master!"
