"Oh, you three have a heart. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Glancing at the three princes standing in front of the throne, under the scorching gaze of the civil and military ministers in the palace, the Son of Heaven slowly walked back to the throne and sat down, his face was full of waves, and he couldn't see joy or anger.

The hall was instantly so quiet that it was audible to drop a pin.

He was silent for a moment, and then suddenly asked, "Lanling, I heard that you deliberately changed your route on the way to Beijing and went to visit Qinghe?

Ji Tianxing was stunned when he heard this, then reacted, his face showed a look of sorrow, and he replied: "When the son went to go, Brother Qinghe had just had a serious illness and had not yet recovered, and his body was really weak, and he could barely get up. ”

When the Son of Heaven heard this, he only nodded slightly, and then asked, "You only know how to visit Qinghe, why don't you go to the Hejian Palace" to meet your Uncle Wang?"

The face of the king of Lanling was even more sad, and he bowed down and said: "Father and Emperor Rongyu, it is not that the sons and daughters have no respect for the elders, it is really the big flood after the collapse of the south peak of Tianmen Mountain last year, more than half of them have washed up on the south bank, and the disaster is far more serious than the north bank, the south bank is the land between the rivers, and the sons heard that the uncle of the king of the river has been busy with disaster relief and spring plowing for most of the year, and he has to help the hungry people in the autumn, and he has not even returned to the palace a few times, how dare the sons and daughters bother and add to the chaos." Speaking of which, Qinghe County is next to the land between the rivers, and it has also suffered some disasters, and Brother Qinghe is probably worried about the people, so he fell seriously ill and has not recovered so far. ”

Only then did the Son of Heaven sigh and said: "The Tianmen Mountain and Water Disaster, although the imperial court has a compassionate offer, but after all, the land between the rivers is the first to bear the brunt, and it is inevitable that the vitality will be greatly damaged, it is really difficult for Uncle Wang and Qinghe." Lanling, you are in Yunzhou, living next to the land between the rivers, and you will have to worry more about your uncle and brother Wang in the future. ”

Ji Tianxing hurriedly agreed: "Father is benevolent, sons and daughters remember." ”

In the corner, Li Beihai, who had nothing to do with himself, looked at it for a long time, and then stabbed Gongxi Xiaobai with his finger, and said: "This father and son asked and answered, and what they said was really interesting. Hey, you don't need to use the Western Expedition to cut down the domain, and after taking this flying disaster, the King of Hejian can't be relieved for a few years?

"This is all obvious, the imperial court used the king of Hejian to suppress the southwest tyrants, and used the king of Qinghe to monitor the river, and now Qinghe is weak and difficult to take on this position, so he sealed Lanling in the past. ”

Gongxi Xiaobai's eyes were on Ji Tianxing from beginning to end, and he also said: "This highness is also a person, going west to conquer 100,000 mountain demons, and south to the land between the rivers, if he can be the prince of the county and the prince this time, and take charge of Yunzhou, then even our four towns in the northwest will have to beware of him in the future." ”

In my opinion, he leveled the Buddha in the water of Buddhism with a knife, and it seems that he offended the Son of Heaven who made up his mind to support Buddhism, but in fact it may not be, at least in the future in the north, Buddhism can only rely on the Son of Heaven, and I am afraid that the king of the river and his ilk will not be able to count on it. This knife is really terrifying and terrifying, pointing directly at cause and effect and hitting the nail on the head! From this point of view, the knife he made outside the Beijing division also contains a lot of deep meaning that we can't see through for a while. ”

Li Beihai snorted: "Those kinds of characters are too far away, and it's useless to think about it." On the contrary, in front of you, you look at this scene of father's kindness and filial piety, uncle and nephew's deep affection, but who knows that it is full of cold-blooded calculations inside, which is really disgusting. ”

When Gongxi Xiaobai heard this, he glanced at Li Beihai in surprise: "As far as I know, you Li Dashao didn't suppress the uncles and brothers in the clan, right?"

Li Beihai grinned: "It's natural, if I don't clean them up, they should ride on my head to and pee." But I have always put it on the table, and I will never act like this, and our Li family will not set up a chastity archway. ”

While the two were talking, the Son of Heaven chatted a few words with the King of Runan, who was also responsible for surveillance, and the parents of the kings of Jiangnan were short, it seemed that it was still just a family affair of the Ji family, and it should not be brought to such an occasion as the Great Dynasty Meeting, in fact, the court princes all knew it, and this kind of question and answer was undoubtedly a relatively gentle beating and warning from the Son of Heaven to the kings of the clan at this time.

I heard Ji Tianyang solemnly replied: "Before Erchen left for Beijing, the three royal brothers of Changsha, Shanyin, and Jiangxia of the Huainan family all had a copy of the nursery ministers to present on their behalf, and Erchen refused because this move did not conform to the regulations of the imperial court. Erchen also heard that the three royal brothers also looked for the younger brother of Yingchuan, because the younger brother of Yingchuan did not give up after the edict. ”

"You're doing the right thing. Yingchuan is too soft in his ears, and the three unsuccessful sons of Huainan Wangdi dare to pester him. ”

The Son of Heaven was a little annoyed: "I don't even read their chapters and know that although they have the heart to share the worries of the court, but the country is weak and weak, and by the way, they all want to take the opportunity to ask for a favor to inherit the title of the King of Huainan in order to expand the feudal country." They don't want to think about it, just by virtue of Huainan's merits, there is today's mourning, and the three sons are all county kings, all for the sake of Huainan and my mother's compatriots, and now they are still not satisfied, and they dare to think of the prince's honorific title without size!"

The three princes hurriedly bowed their heads and arched their hands: "Father is angry!"

The crown prince Ji Tiancheng straightened up and persuaded: "Father, the three royal brothers of Huainan are still loyal to the imperial court, although they have no great merit, but there is always hard work, and I also ask my father to read it in the face of the prince and uncle of Huainan and forgive one or two." ”

The Son of Heaven looked at his crown prince and said with emotion: "You, you are just too benevolent. I'm old, and it's not a bad thing to have you, a prince who can treat the courtiers of the clan well. ”

As soon as these words came out, they immediately set off invisible waves in the main hall.

An ancestor who is like a god of the sea is the biggest foundation for a family to prosper forever, but at the same time, it also accounts for most of the family's luck, and it is inevitable that future generations will be affected when it is serious, and a son of heaven who has been in power for a long time is even more so.

Now that the dynasty has been in place for more than 100 years, it is natural that they are extremely long-lived, but many of the children under their knees have died young, even if they are adults, few can live for a long time.

The princes who were older than Ji Tiancheng were either abolished or died, and they all no longer exist, so he became the eldest son of the emperor among the seven kings of the lineage, and he was quite powerful and talented, so he was naturally canonized as the crown prince.

The king of Runan ranked third, and the king of Lanling was the last.

His Royal Highness Qinghe, who is now ranked second, is also a temporary choice, and his cultivation is even more profound, and he was inspired before the age of thirty, which is extremely rare among the pampered royal family.

Unexpectedly, there were unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and the king of Qinghe County suddenly had a strange illness when the position of the prince was within reach, and he was sick and sick, and he had been living in the vassal country for many years and did not participate in the court meeting, and in recent years, there were several rumors of his death, but the rumors were quickly refuted.

For the inside of this matter, there are many rumors in the market, saying that this highness is not sick, but was plotted by someone during the practice, so that he went mad, although he saved his life afterwards, but it was also a big loss of vitality, and he became a sick man who fell down as soon as the wind blew in the eyes of the world, so he had to give up the fight for the throne with hatred.

The fourth, fifth, and sixth are all county kings, all of whom are the best in the bloodline today, and they have been able to rise quickly, but it is difficult to go further for such and such reasons.

For more than 100 years, it is not uncommon to see such ups and downs, or the princes who can compete with the prince of the current dynasty for a while or can only live in the county and wait for death, but now these three in the palace, but I don't know how many of them will follow in the footsteps of those highnesses sooner or later, and they will gradually be blown away by the rain and wind, and forgotten by the world.

As for the old things between the Huainan Wang's family and today's son, no one will care about it.

One sentence made the dark tide in the palace surge, and the Son of Heaven seemed to be unaware of this: "Today, headed by the crown prince, the three of you want to share your worries for me, I know that the western expedition is a national war, and there is a time when you serve the country." ”

"Runan, you suggested that I recruit barbarian warriors to enter the western expedition army, and I have approved it, so I will leave this matter to you. ”

"Sons obey orders!"

The Son of Heaven looked at Ji Tianxing, who wanted to speak and stopped: "Lanling, I know that you have a great enmity with the barbarian young master because you almost wiped out the bear barbarians, but do you have any objections to this matter?"

Ji Tianxing's face changed, and he hurriedly bowed: "Erchen doesn't dare." If the Helian clan is willing to contribute to his father's father, the son will be happy to see it, and he will never dare to abolish the public with his own selfishness. ”

The Son of Heaven nodded: "It's good if you have this heart." Passing on my will, with the title of Prince Lanling of Jin, Lanling County of Yunzhou to the west of 100,000 mountains and south to the river, it is a feudal country, and Lanling is still the king's name, and the Ministry of Rites chooses an auspicious day to add a seal. Well, it's a pity that Xue Hou has military affairs in his body, so I'm afraid I won't have time to attend your ceremony. ”

After taking a stick and getting a big sweet date, Ji Tianxing's heart shook, he knelt down with a plop, and said in a trembling voice: "Erchen thanked his father Emperor Longen! As for his grandfather, when he returns to Beijing, it will not be too late for Erchen to visit him again." ”

The king of Lanling has always been favored by the Son of Heaven, and he has military merits, not to mention that there is a favored lady and a martial marquis standing behind him, and the hundred officials have expected this, so they naturally salute at this time and congratulate in unison: "The ministers congratulate His Royal Highness Lanling!

When the congratulatory voice that resounded through the hall dissipated, the Son of Heaven looked at Ji Tiancheng with a complicated face: "Prince, you are good at managing money, and you have really made a lot of money in Qingzhou with Luan Ji, this time I called the Qingzhou Long's general Dongfang Zhiguo, I don't want you to break the family for the country, but the East China Sea Shen Iron Blade should meet the military needs, you must do your best, don't let me down." ”

Ji Tiancheng, who had mixed feelings in his heart, pressed his thoughts, bowed down and promised, and another Angzang military general in the ranks of the military ministers came out, and bowed his head: "The Long's Dongfang clan is willing to attach His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Jiwei to serve His Majesty's great cause!"

"Dongfang Qing's family is flat, I know that your family has always been loyal to the king, and the ancestors also had a dragon marquis, and the previous emperors of the past dynasties have made great profits in the East China Sea, but today, it is no longer as prosperous as it was in the past. Whether Aiqing can revive the family's reputation this time, I have to wait and see. If you have meritorious deeds, how can I bear you to waste your years in the office of General Long'e?"

The East holds the country and bows down to the ground again: "The saint loves it, the ministers and the people are up and down, and they are grateful!"

"In this case, I will not take away your family's Long'e County, and the Dongfang Qing family will still use their original position as the quartermaster of the Western Expedition, and raise grain, grass, salt, iron, weapons and other materials for the Western Expedition Army, the stakes are very high, do not ignore them. ”

"Obey the order!"

The Son of Heaven waved his hand and said no more.

Seeing this, the three princes and the eastern rulers of the country bowed and retreated.

The Son of Heaven immediately stood up: "Marquis Yu, a few children are inevitably frizzy, and the Qingzhou family is still bothered by the Qing family." ”

Yu Da bowed slightly: "Your Majesty's words are serious, although the minister is old, fortunately he is not confused, and he will do his best not to let the army of the Western Expedition have worries." ”

The Son of Heaven smiled and nodded: "You are all the pillars of the Great Zhou, so I won't tell them one by one, otherwise I am afraid that this great dynasty will not be able to open for a few days and nights, and I will not prepare food for your family." ”

Although these words may not be funny, the hall is full of low laughter, and it seems that the oppressive and solemn atmosphere has also been relaxed.

After the ministers laughed, the Son of Heaven suddenly raised his voice and said: "Proposed decree, the deacon of the Privy Council, Cao Xianzhi, is old in the army and has made meritorious contributions, and worships as the doctor of the sixth division, and the prime minister Teng, Gan, Liang, and the four states of Pingrong, Xu set up the Pingrong shogunate in the camp of the northern army of the Beijing Division, with a deadline of one year, and selected and trained 50,000 elite cavalry, thinking that he would march to the west to the Chinese army, and give him a gold medal order and arrows, but those who violate the order and do not comply with the order do not need to ask for the order, and can be beheaded immediately!"

Cao Xianzhi hurriedly came out of the ranks, knelt three times and bowed nine times, and said in a deep voice: "The minister obeys the order!

Under the solemn gaze of the ministers, the Son of Heaven descended down the stairs and bowed to Cao Xianyi to the end, and then the monarchs and ministers got up one after the other, looking at each other and smiling.

At this point, today's court meeting is finally about to settle, and with this appointment, the whole Zhou Tian is afraid to be in flames.

Cao Xianzhi bowed and retreated, the Son of Heaven walked back to the throne and sat down slowly, waved his hand, and the eunuch took a few steps forward, and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty has a will, with Lu Huaijin, the general of the Wolf Xu of Jianzhou, Chang Zhaoqing, the general of Shuofang of Youzhou, and Shen Tuyuan, the general of Jincheng of Jizhou, each selected 3,000 elite cavalry from their headquarters, and they all joined the army of the Western Expedition after reporting to Beijing. The generals of the three towns and the lack of soldiers are coordinated by the Privy Council and the military department, and the elite of the Beijing division and the forbidden army of the four prefectures are selected and presented to the emperor. In addition, Jianzhou Yunqi Captain Ning Qiu, Youzhou Xiandeng Captain Li Songqi, Jizhou Xiaocai Captain Gan Jiuquan, and Tun Cavalry Captain Mu Shipan, each mentioned the headquarters of the Thousand Cavalry and Hengshan Selected Fengwei, all went to serve under the account of the Sixth Division. ”

Qingzhou salt and iron belong to Yu Da and Dongfang clan, the Son of Heaven ordered the East to hold the country to supply the army of salt and iron, and it is inevitable that the Yu family who controls the benefits of the sailor and sea salt will conflict and weaken each other, and the prince is in it, in order to stabilize his position, he must give up part of his interests, which is the Yang plan of the Son of Heaven. Originally, Cao Xian's affairs were none of his business, but he was just watching the fire from the other side, but when he heard this will to change the blood of three of the four towns in the north, he had to stand up hard.

"Your Majesty, after the Great War in Jizhou, Shen Tuyuan and Ganjiuquan Mu Shipan were transferred away at this time, and one of the two titled captains were all replaced overnight, which seems to be inappropriate. ”

The Son of Heaven waved his hand and said with a smile: "I know that Shen Tuyuan is your proud protégé, and this time I have made a lot of credit for blocking the southern invasion of the Di people, but it is precisely because he is a general that I want to transfer him to participate in the western expedition." In this way, Huo Shidu, the chief soldier of Youzhou, has been in Youzhou for a long time, and it is time to move the nest, so he will replace Shen Tuyuan and be the general of Jincheng, what does Cao Qing think?"

The Son of Heaven only mentions Shen Tu Yuan, Gayin Ganjiuquan is Murong Sheng's protégé, Mu Shipan is Ji Room's henchman, Cao Xianzhi doesn't care at all, as for Huo Shidu, he is also Cao Hutou's proud protégé, transferred from Youzhou General Army to Jincheng General, it seems to be a flat tone, but it is transferred from the local to the border army system, and the combat power under his command is not the same. This transfer compensated for the Cao faction's forces at the same time, but it also lightly took away the position of the Cao faction's commander in Youzhou.

Cao Hu was in charge of the army, and then he was beaten by the Son of Heaven, which was contrary to the order of King Lanling, and the effect was different.

Cao Xianzhi broke out in a cold sweat, and didn't dare to say more, so he hurriedly said: "The relationship between the four northern states is the safety of the Great Zhou Society, and only His Majesty is the only one who should be selected, and the ministers are stupid, and they only obey orders, and dare not obey the edict!"

Seeing this, the Son of Heaven smiled happily: "Zixiao Chenxian, I am very relieved!"

Gongxi Xiaobai and Li Beihai glanced at each other, and there was a sneer in their eyes.

The way of checks and balances, the father and son of the monarch and the minister.

Fly camp dogs, nothing more than that.
