"Fighting a war is really a waste of money and labor! As soon as the war starts, the treasury for many years will pour out like flowing water!

The post-war reconstruction, bereavement, and rewards are all large amounts of silver!

If you don't fight, why can't you have that silver? I am sure that the people are rich and the country is thriving! ”

Concubine Lu was a little puzzled, the emperor rarely talked about court politics in front of her.

Don't look at the fact that he admires Empress Taizu very much, and often talks about her old man, but in fact, he doesn't like the concubine to talk about politics at all.

It's best to just revolve around him like two fools and ghosts, and obey him like a god.

Those who couldn't see this clearly ended up being rejected by him.

saw it clearly, but only knew obedience and obedience, and in the end he was also disgusted.

Only oneself, who has long understood the truth, can be pampered.

Although the emperor's words are not easy to accept, he can wear thousands of sycophants, and he is not annoyed by thousands of annoyances.

"Hey, the emperor is supporting the entire Great Zhou with his own strength, supporting thousands of miles of rivers and mountains and hundreds of millions of people, and he is tired and panicked thinking about it!

If it was a concubine, she would have been tired and lying down! Just worrying about so much will cost the life of the concubine, let alone doing so many things!

However, the emperor is the lord of the world, and it is up to you to decide whether to fight or not, who dares not to obey? The concubine was the first to spare him! ”

Emperor Chengzong Chaidi burst out laughing, and his eyes flashed:

"It's still Concubine Ai who understands my thoughts! Of course, it is up to me to decide whether to fight or not, the key is to have a way to solve the problem without fighting! ”

Lu Guifei suddenly felt strange in her heart, and her intuition told her that she couldn't answer this.

But the vigilance that had been there reminded her that this word had to be answered, because the emperor wanted her to answer it.

"Eat the king's fortune, share the worries for the king! A large piece of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military black pressure, so I can't discuss a good idea? embarrassed the emperor! ”

"They came up with an idea! It's just that I'm really embarrassed! ”

Lu Guifei sighed in her heart, it must be very difficult to make the emperor embarrassed, and it is definitely not a good thing.

In the emperor's style, if you take this sentence, it will be a hundred-foot cold pool, although you are injured, you still have a way to live, and if you don't take it, it will be an abyss, and you will be crushed by bones.

Her smile did not change at all, her eyes were still clear and sweet like a girl, she secretly gritted her teeth, and asked gently and curiously:

"What the hell is going on? Why don't you talk about it, let's see if the concubines can share the worries of the king? ”

"When the two countries are in dispute, either the winner of the war is king, or the peace talks and an alliance to coexist.

The Mongols were far away, vast and sparsely populated, and their people were grass-hungry and had no permanent production at home, making it difficult to conquer and rule.

It's not that we can't fight, but it's that it's too cost-effective to fight, and the gain is less than one-tenth of what we cost, and an alliance and reciprocity are the best policy.

Now their Timurid Khan is willing to be a vassal state of the Great Zhou, and in the future to guard the northern frontier for the Great Zhou, and the two countries exchange border cities to jointly benefit, which is a great thing.

The most reliable way to form an alliance is to make peace with each other, and the future heir also has my Great Zhou bloodline, so it is naturally easier to belong to and identify.

Timur's only request was to marry the princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty for his eldest son, and the courtiers agreed after deliberation. ”

Concubine Lu Guifei instantly fell into a cold pool, only to realize that there were only two people in the house, her and the emperor.

She thought that the Great Zhou Dynasty was strong and the Quartet surrendered, and the emperor had conquered the world by force, and would never send the princess and relatives.

Emperor Chengzong's gaze was very calm, as if he was saying what she would eat tonight:

"Originally, in order to show attention and preferential treatment, the princess should be married.

But the queen only has one child left, Mingzhu, and her mother's family has lost two close relatives because of me, so she can't be forced to a dead end

The other identities are not enough, and they are too young.

Everyone in the world knows that my pet Ruizhu is like a jewel, and even the title is Princess Xiangrui.

I also know that her imperial brother is the eldest son of the emperor who is most important to me, and her uncle is the protector of the country and the general.

Only her weight is enough, and sincerity can be demonstrated."

Concubine Lu Guifei endured and did not faint, she did not dare to faint, because the emperor never wanted to carry the reputation of stunning the concubine.

Thinking of her daughter's innocent and cute little face, her heart was like a knife, and she trembled.

forced himself to calm down: "The emperor has a furrow in his chest and a heart for the world, and his concubines should follow without complaint or regret, but Ruizhu is only eight years old."

Emperor Chengzong breathed a sigh of relief, he was not mistaken, it was still Lu Guifei who was the most loyal and sensible.

He walked over and picked up Lu Guifei's fragrant shoulder, and the two sat side by side on the couch:

"What did Concubine Ai say, I hurt Ruizhu no worse than Concubine Ai, I can't wait to stay by my side for the rest of my life, how can I send her so far at such a young age?

You can rest assured, now you won't even be married, let alone show the slightest rumor to the outside world.

Now he only secretly agreed with Timur about this matter, and gave him a reassurance, and his eldest son was only twelve years old, and he would talk about it when the two children reached adulthood.

Originally, I didn't have to tell you the news in advance, I just had to marry you directly.

But I am sincere to the three of you, mother and son, and I regard Ruizhu as the meat of my heart, and I don't want to give you a thunderbolt from the blue.

I don't want Ruizhu to be innocent and squeamish in my Great Zhou harem, but suddenly one day I will marry far away to a backward country in the alpine desert, and spend my life with a stranger whose living habits are completely different since childhood, and I will not even be allowed to return to my hometown for the rest of my life.

I told you in advance that I believe that you will focus on the overall situation, and I really love Ruizhu.

I want you to prepare her in advance for marrying far away in the future, and you also know how to raise her, which can be regarded as the love of parents and far-reaching plans for children. ”

No matter how reluctant Concubine Lu Guifei is to reconcile her daughter, she has to admit that if harmony cannot be avoided, Emperor Chengzong has done this convincingly.

Her mood calmed down instantly, and she thanked again and again, if the harmony could not be avoided, then it would be exchanged for the greatest benefit.

It's not that she doesn't love her daughter, her son's future is the biggest guarantee for her daughter's safety and happiness.

But how could she speak so naturally?

"Xiao Jun had already remembered when he left, and if he was alive, he would have found it a long time ago.

There has been no news for so long, and I have searched everywhere without success, I must have had an accident a long time ago, and I know my name.

But no matter how uncomfortable I am, I can't abandon the inheritance of the Great Zhou Dynasty for a son.

What's more, even if he comes back in the future, he has not received the upbringing of orthodox princes and princes since he was a child, and he is like a stranger with his parents, brothers, and clan courtiers.

The relationship between father and son has long been estranged, how can they take on great responsibilities in the future?

Xiaojie is now my eldest son, don't worry, I won't treat your mother and son badly. ”

Concubine Lu's heart is like a drum, for so many years, this is the first time that the emperor has officially mentioned the matter of the heir, and he has also officially promised her.

She endured all kinds of tastes in her heart, and after kowtowing to thank her, she knelt in front of Emperor Chengzong, and raised her affectionate face like pear blossoms and rain:

"The concubines thank the emperor for his kindness and trust in our mother and son, and I should be wholeheartedly devoted to my liver and brains"
