In the cool hall, incense mixed with musk, white sandalwood, ambergris, borneol, Suhe, rest and other spices slowly burned. The waiters stood there with wide eyes, as if they were afraid of being discovered by others. As for the palace maid holding a fan and the guard holding a knife, they are looking at their noses and noses, and they look like mud tires and wood sculptures.

Because something they had never seen before.

In the eyes of these palace guards, the emperor was a diligent and inquisitive student, and Wen Sanqi was a knowledgeable and patient teacher, who was familiar with the script, they felt that one of these two was the resourceful Zhuge Kongming, and the other was probably either Uncle Liu or the son of Uncle Liu.

All in all, they should be in harmony.

Li Xu had never seen Wen Yuanheng angry, Wen Yuanheng, a middle-aged Confucian scholar, was very good at cultivating qi. The most important thing is to pay attention to "Mount Tai collapses in front and does not change color, and the elk is happy and left and does not look instantly." This sometimes makes Li Xu feel that this teacher may be too wooden. But today, Li Xu knew that this old man would also blush and have a thick neck.

"Ridiculous!" Wen Yuanheng slapped the imperial case angrily, shaking the brush on the pen stand to the ground. Li Xu hurriedly bent down to touch it.

"Why did Your Majesty pick up the pen?" Wen Yuanheng took another shot, "Mencius said, those who work hard govern people, and those who work hard govern people." Your Majesty, as the Ninth Five-Year Honor, why did you do what this little person did? Could it be that Your Majesty thought that the maids and attendants in the Qingliang Hall were all corpse vegetarian meals, and they couldn't even do this thing?"

Angry is angry, you have to beep when you pick up a pen? I can't pick it up.

As soon as Li Xu retracted his hand, Wen Yuanheng sprayed again.

"My Majesty has something to do and something not to do, I asked Your Majesty not to pick it up, Your Majesty will not pick it up? Your Majesty can bow his head and pick up the pen, which is sympathetic to the palace people, this is benevolence. Weichen forcibly admonished, and His Majesty did not pick it up, this is frustration. Haoran righteousness, great to strong. Directly raised and harmless, with righteousness and Tao. How can someone change their mind just as soon as they say it?

So Mencius is really a bastard, and he is really not alive when he speaks.

Li Xu was also angry, so he simply didn't pick it up, and let Wen Yuanheng spit here.

The reason why Wen Yuanheng was angry was actually very simple, that is, at today's court meeting, Empress Dowager Wen publicly announced that the female official Wen of the Emperor Nashang Gong Bureau was a beauty, and she was crowned with the title of Wen Minxing, the uncle of Zhou Guogong.

The government and the opposition were speechless, and the ministers were all well-informed, and they all heard about He Basong being taken down by the emperor and sent to Dali Temple. Now the Queen Mother will send Wen Minxing's daughter to an emperor to be a beauty, I am afraid that there will be another Empress Dowager Wen in many years.

Only Lu Zhen, the squire of the Chinese book, objected, he thought that the emperor had not yet served the emperor, he was not an adult, and it was not the time to accept a concubine, and just because his daughter was chosen by the emperor as a beauty, it was really unreasonable to appoint Wen Min to serve in the middle.

With the opposition of the prime minister, a group of ministers also had the courage to quote scriptures to express that the queen mother's actions were not considered.

The last to strike the fatal blow was Wen Minxing, the Duke of Zhou Guogong directly said that his talent and virtue were limited and he could not serve as a servant, and the Queen Mother refused with a blushing face.

Half a month ago, the Uighur Great Tent moved, and most of them moved south, from the Oude Mountains to the Yin Mountains, and now the Uighurs at the foot of the Yin Mountains are nearly tens of thousands of accounts, and the Shuo Fang Army and other border armies are shocked and frightened, and they are shocked three times a day, hoping that the imperial court will respond as soon as possible.

The Uighurs were originally one of the steppe tribes enslaved by the Turks, and the Turks were a large country across the western regions of the steppe.

At that time, the Uighurs were subject states of the Western Turks, and they were originally unknowns, but they took the opportunity to rise up when the Turks were divided and weakened, annexed the rest of the Tiele, defeated the Turks, and rose to become the leader of most of the steppe in Mobei. Its khan's tooth tent is under the Wude Mountain, which is the Yanran Mountain where Huo Qubing waited for the horse to step on the Xiongnu and Le Shi.

The Uighurs boasted "100,000 men who controlled the strings and 30,000 who guarded the tent." "Although the number is large, they are all led by the chiefs of the tribes, and in the event of a major war, the messengers of the Khan will hold the tooth card warrant to levy troops from the chieftains of all walks of life, and the nobles and nobles will lead their people to participate in the war with the Khan.

The Uighur Khan had two fine cavalry under his tent, one called "Jingshi Mingyan", with a total of 5,000 cavalry, and the other "Mori Zhitian" with 7,000 cavalry, both of which were armored cavalry led by the Khan himself.

At that time, the Turks were a major problem for the Yu Dynasty, so in order to win over the Uighurs, the anti-bone boys, the emperors of the Yu Dynasty often chose the women of the clan to be crowned princesses and relatives of the Uighurs. Therefore, the Uighurs exchanged letters with the Yu Dynasty, and the Uighurs often referred to the Yu Dynasty as the "Han uncle's great official's family", while the Yu Dynasty's Hui Shu was called "nephew".

Since the Kwantung Rebellion, the Yu Dynasty's national power has been declining, so it has not been able to turn its face in the face of the growing Uighurs. The Uighurs, however, were threatened by the remnants of the Turks and were unable to move south to the south of the desert to compete for supremacy. Therefore, the relationship between the two countries is very close because of trade and marriage.

This time, the Uighur Khan moved the tent thousands of miles, from the foot of Yanran Mountain to Yinshan, and further south was the location of the Yu Dynasty's Fengzhou Defense Mission, which can be said to have reached the border of the Yu Dynasty. Regardless of the relationship between the two sides before, now people are riding on the side, Fengzhou Town is silent, Fengzhou Town is south, Zhenwu, Shuofang, and Xia Sui towns are also as big as a fight.

In any case, the imperial court must always come up with a strategy.

Now when it comes to the soldiers and horses in the hands of the imperial court, there are about three places, one is called the domain town, where the soldiers and horses are the most, and they are controlled by the defense envoys of each town, but they don't listen to the announcement, they may not be able to kill themselves to defend the territory, let alone send troops to help other feudal towns, waiting to take advantage of the fire to rob is the true nature of these guys.

The other is the government soldiers, the Yu Dynasty inherited the government soldier system of the previous dynasty, and set up the Zhichong Mansion in each county across the country, and the Zhichong Mansion provided soldiers, and the imperial court accordingly issued the land to the military government that undertook military service. Soldiers and farmers are one, farmers who are usually at home, and when there is something, they are strong pawns who can serve before and after the saddle. Each Zhichong Prefecture is under the command of the Twelve Guards, and personnel are selected to enter Beijing every year to serve as soldiers of the Twelve Guards.

However, while the idea is good, it is fundamentally unsustainable. The first is land, which is the most important resource of an agrarian society. As long as he is a landlord, he will definitely try his best to annex the land. In this way, the land allocated to the government soldiers is destined to become less and less, and when there is no land to supply the government soldiers, how can we talk about the integration of soldiers and farmers?

What's more, the soldiers of the Yu Dynasty attacked the old system of the previous dynasty, and most of the leaders of the Zhichong Mansion were wealthy families in the countryside. Once the peace lasts for a long time, the wealthy clans will only wantonly annex the land that should have been allocated to the government soldiers, ignoring the imperial court's order to recruit soldiers.

In the end, the common people themselves, who want to go to the battlefield if they are not careful, but they have to hand over their wives and children to the old king next door to take care of them.

So now, the government soldiers have withered, and they can no longer catch the wronged big man to be a soldier, except for Jin Wuwei, the other eleven guards are in name only, and most of Jin Wuwei's soldiers are from Bai Yujing's small farmers and merchants.

The last thing that can be used is the so-called forbidden army such as the Shence Army and the Tianwei Army, this force is a new army formed after the Guandong Rebellion, which was originally a feudal town in the Guanzhong region, because of the loyalty and courage to fight was elected as the emperor's cronies, led by the eunuchs, stationed in the north of the palace on weekdays, so it is called the "North Ya Forbidden Army", its source of life depends on the military salary paid by the imperial court, since the Holy Queen, its scale has been expanding, there have been nearly 100,000 people, stationed in various parts of Guanzhong.

In order to feed such a large army, the Yu Dynasty changed the tax law, and the emperors since the Holy Empress tried every means to fill the treasury, but when it came time to use it, they were overstretched.

Since the Kwantung Rebellion, the prefectures and counties of Longxi, from the west of Lanzhou, have been controlled by Tubo, and every autumn, the forbidden army must be dispatched to support the border army in various towns to prevent autumn. Hebei and Shandong and other prefectures and counties were controlled by feudal towns, and they had the ambition to spy on Hedong and Henan, and the imperial court relied on the transfer between Sichuan and Jianghuai. Therefore, the Shence Army must be ready to deal with those evil feudal towns at any time.

Therefore, although there are 100,000 people, they are stretched thin.
