Chapter 11: Gambling

After the daytime court meeting was over, night fell on the world, and two groups of people hurried in the night.

Inside the Hall of Dexian.

"Niangniang, this is a cinnabar red glaze grate comb made by a great martyr craftsman, with the grate head, can make the hair black and smooth smooth; this is a night pearl from the East China Sea, in the dark night can emit Ze Ze brilliance; this is a group of southern Xinjiang top southern red agate carved from the child frolicking puppet statue, the material is unique, the carving is delicate, the child is cute and lifelike, pray for the king and queen heirs to continue. The maid of Dalie introduced the many gifts brought to the queen one by one, "This is the choice of His Majesty King Dalie Jin for the mother, I wish the queen good health and a long grace." ”

Queen Fukuzawa sat in the inner room, separated by a crystal bead curtain from the golden king in the other room. Behind the queen stood Prince Xuanyuan Hui, who stood with his head bowed.

King Jin was ten years older than the Queen, the youngest of King Kim's many younger sisters.

That year, Dalie and Fuze were married, and King Yue, who was still on the throne of the crown prince, hit the Wang family at first sight. The whole palace of the Great Martyr Palace celebrated, and it was such a glorious honor to marry the Fukuzawa royal family. King Jin has always loved this little sister, when the team left Dalie, King Jin took the little sister's hand, from the princess's mansion to the Fengxian Palace, from the palace corridor to the capital gate, and was reluctant to let go. At the moment of parting, the Wang family couldn't afford to bow down, and thanked his parents for teaching and Brother Wang for taking care of him.

When she arrived in Fukuzawa Kyoto, the queen lived up to the expectations of the countrymen, abiding by her wife's virtue, assisting the king, overwhelming the concubines, and collecting the king's favor. After King Fukuzawa ascended the throne, he gave birth to a great prince for the king, which made the whole world celebrate it.

The queen carefully looked at her brother's appearance behind the curtain, is he fat and thin? Is he old or not? It has been ten years since the last parting, and there are eight hundred miles of land from the capital of Dalie to Kyoto of Fukuzawa! There are only eight hundred miles of land, and my great warriors can gallop to it as soon as they gallop to it! And these eight hundred miles have been separated by ten years, ten years and ten years!

"Thank you brother for the generous gift, and I also have a big gift for my brother and the sisters in the family. After that, a row of maids presented ten sets of gold and silver cups and moonlight cups on trays, with strange and different postures and graceful colors.

"Thank you, Queen. At this time, the brothers and sisters who were in love with each other in the past have become the host and guest of the two countries. The queen also remembered that my brother took me to ride a horse on the desert and took me to bend my bow and shoot the moon, and how beautiful the time was.

"Brother, are you in good health?

"I'm fine, it's justβ€”"

"What's the matter? What can't I say to my sister?"

"Hey, Wu Yuan, just come on. At this time, Wu Yuan was standing behind King Jin with his arms down.

"Yu Niangniang, the second uncle's body collapsed-" Wu Yuan choked up several times, "Uncle has been fighting with Hu Rong in the north for several years, the conditions are difficult, and he has repeatedly fought with Hu Rong until he runs out of ammunition and food--when there is nothing to eat, the soldiers actually cut the meat and eat it-"

The queen was terrified, "This war is so fierce. ”

"Yes, aunt, it's terrible, and it's a miracle that Uncle he was able to save his life. Wu Yuan was moved.

The queen wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeve, "Back then, His Royal Highness King Shu was very kind to me. ”

"Sister, the war is like this, don't be sad. It is our duty to share the worries of the blessed and protect the peace of the north. If you sacrifice your life to protect the country, it is also worth it, but the war is coming in the coming year, and now the north is all disabled soldiers, if you are not defeated by thieves, I am equal to the Yellow Spring under the face of the ancestors and ancestors. ”

"I'm a daughter, and it's inconvenient to ask about state affairs, but I want to do my part for the safety of the world, can I do anything for the people in the north?"

King Jin Gu was present without saying a word.

"They are all cronies, etc., my brother can rest assured that he will say it. ”

"Please bring me a pen and paper. ”

The queen waved her hand, and Xuanyuan Hui, who was standing beside her, took a pen and paper and presented it to King Jin.

Although King Jin deliberately avoided Xuanyuan Hui, Xuanyuan Hui still saw it by chance, so what life and death were vaguely written on it, but what was written specifically was unknown.

The letter was folded into small pieces and handed to the queen, who, after looking at it, pondered for a moment, nodded, and burned the letter on the candle.

At this time, there was another team of men and horses hurrying in the night. They bypassed the pavilions in the Amethyst Palace and were about to go on a date in a quiet pavilion in the West Mountain.

And the people in the pavilion seem to be watching the mountains and admiring the moon here, but in fact, they have been waiting here for a long time.

"Your Majesty, King Wu, they are here. The guard stepped forward and whispered in the ear of the king, who was sitting in the pavilion.

"Got it. King Zheng slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

Soon, King Wu of Quanze and his entourage ascended the pavilion from the bottom of the steps.

"Zhengwang is good Yaxing, watching the scenery of the mountains and the moon here, but it is a pity that there is no beautiful woman to accompany this beautiful scenery. King Wu sat on the stone chair opposite the king.

"Wu Wang Mo wants to joke. "King Yuntu is the most serious and upright among the Five Kingdoms Martyrs. "What do you think about the recent events?"

"What is the matter today? The matter of building water conservancy, or the matter of trade between the five countries?" King Wu of Quanze pretended to be confused.

"Naturally, it is Da Lie's request to increase troops and food!" Situ Yumou, who was behind King Yuntuzheng, was young and vigorous, and said first.

King Zheng slowly took another sip of tea.

"Ohβ€”that's what happened!" King Wu of Quanze seemed to suddenly realize. "The northern border, the granary of the five continents, is naturally to be guarded"

"So naturally, you have to increase your troops?"

"We have to increase our troops, too. ”

"400,000 people?"

"Hu Rong is still so brave, if he merges with Beidi and goes south, he must meet it with heavy troops. ”

"I don't know if Hu Rong and Beidi conspired to be true or false. ”

"Naturally, it is not groundless, and Dalie's intelligence has always been accurate. ”

"King Wu is confused!" "Yun Tuzheng Wang Ling Ran knocked the teacup on the stone table, "According to my country's exploration report, since Hu Rong fled north, his vitality has been greatly damaged, and he cannot recover for more than ten years. And Beidi is secretly plotting to annex the small country of Xiqing at this time, what kind of effort can he do with us!"

King Wu of Izumi Ze was surprised. Could it be that the war situation in the north is false, and the greed for military rations is real? ”

"One million quintals of grain, King Wu, this million taels of grain can gather an army and command the entire north! In addition, once one million quintals of grain is allocated to Dalie every year, the economy of Yuntu and Quanze will not be guaranteed. ”

"What is the opinion of the king? ”

"We are willing to smear our hearts and minds for the future of the five continents, and we should not let the great martyrs come. I will unite with the ministers of Fuzawa and strongly persuade King Fuzawa not to fall into the great schemes.

"In my opinion, we must first find out the true situation in the north, and then we must figure it out. ”

"The golden autumn grain has been put into the official treasury, and the king can transport it away within a day with an order. Brother Wu, I hope you will make a living with me and persuade King Yue!" said King Fu Quanze, King of Yuntu.

"However, if the huge amount of grain is not distributed to Da Lie, where do you think it will be used?"

"Da Lie needs to rectify the army and horses, and divide them appropriately; Yuntu needs to build the capital, Quanze needs to develop culture, and Da Liang needs to restore the economy, so naturally it will be distributed according to the needs of the national conditions. Of course, the amount given to Izumi Ze is not a problem, and it needs to be at least 20%. If it happens, Yuntu is willing to give Quanze an additional 1,000 taels of gold and 10,000 pieces of weaving cloth to show his gratitude. ”

"Yes, yes, what the king said is very true. "King Wu of Quanze said so in his mouth, but he secretly scolded in his heart, you are a fake and high-minded old thief, you talk about orthodoxy and reason all day long, and you don't think about you Yuntu in front of interests. Two achievements sent me away. Hmph, Izumi Ze wants more than 20%!
