"Of course I'm going to propose marriage to Marquis Tuo Liang!"

Seeing this, Jing Zhaoyin hurriedly mobilized the officials to escort them all the way. When they arrived at the door, someone had already informed that Emperor Mo Changmao was coming, so he hurriedly knelt at the door to greet him.

When he saw Yan Hao holding his daughter Mo Xuan's little hand and approaching him surrounded by a group of people, Mo Changmao realized that the young man who saved his life was actually the current Holy One.

"Mo Hou, I want to take Ling Qianjin as my concubine, Mo Hou is willing?"

Mo Changmao was naturally overjoyed. He knew Mo Xuan was interested in Yan Hao, but he was afraid to agree because of Yu Xinghuai's power. Now that Yan Hao became the emperor, all problems would naturally be solved.

"This is my daughter's blessing and His Majesty's holy favor to the Mo family. How dare the old minister refuse to obey!"

Chapter 317 Trading

After the marriage with Mo Xuan was finalized, Yan Hao didn't immediately welcome her into the palace because he wanted to hold another wedding at the same time.

In Ningke's mansion, Yan Hao said to Ningke: "Ning Qing, the imperial court will definitely recover Yizhou in the future. After Yizhou returns to the Great Wei Dynasty, it will be changed to a state and set up a road. I would like to invite you to be the chief envoy. "

Ning Ke was startled and almost fell off his chair: "Your Majesty, this is impossible. The official position of the humble minister was just bought with money at the beginning, and it was just a vain job. How can he take on such an important position as the chief minister. "

Yan Hao said: "Why should Ning Qing underestimate himself! Since the time when he intends to serve as the royal agent, there are several ministers in the court who have earned money for the treasury! I can see your ability."

"Yizhou is a place of commerce from all over the world, and its products are extremely rich. If we can win Yizhou and sell the products there to Southeast Asia, it will bring huge financial revenue to the court. And you would rather not It couldn't be more suitable."

Ning Ke hesitated for a while, nodded and said: "Thanks to His Majesty's respect, if His Majesty intends to hand over this important position to the minister, the minister will definitely spare no effort to build Yizhou for the court!"

Yan Hao said with a smile: "Ning Qing, I feel at ease with your words. It's just that I have an unfeeling request."

Ning Ke panicked: "Your Majesty, please tell me, and I will definitely do it."

Yan Hao said: "Mrs. Yaxin, Ning Qing's wife, is very popular with my concubines in the palace. I intend to keep her in the palace for a long time to accompany the concubines. I don't know if Ning Qing is willing."

"This!" Ning Ke's eyes widened.

What Yan Hao said was cryptic, but Ning Ke understood it in an instant.It's not that concubines want Ning Yaxin to stay in the palace, it's Yan Hao who wants to accept Ning Yaxin!

During this period of time, his wife often entered the palace, and each time she stayed longer and longer, Ning Ke had already become a little suspicious, but he hadn't confirmed it yet.Now that Yan Hao said so, he was completely convinced of it.

In fact, if Ning Yaxin was Ning Ke's concubine, this matter would be much easier to handle.The ancients have always had the tradition of sending concubines.It is recorded in "Famous Women's Poems" compiled by Zhong Xing that when Su Shi was demoted to Huangzhou, someone came to see him off. He fell in love with Su Shi's concubine Chunniang, and proposed to exchange a white horse for Chunniang, and Su Shi readily agreed.

Zhong Xing is a literary master of the Jingling School, not a historian. It is doubtful whether this incident actually happened in history.But Zhong Xing's daring to write this at least shows that this matter is not too outrageous-even if the ancient scholars were very honest, they might not take their concubines very seriously, and they can give them to others.

But the problem is that Ning Yaxin is Ning Ke's wife, and her status as a wife is not comparable.Asking someone for a wife in person can be regarded as a humiliation to the person. If Yan Hao's identity is not here, I am afraid that Ning Ke will draw his sword and fight him desperately on the spot.

Even so, Ningke was still breathing heavily, his ears were red, and he was tightly clutching the edge of the chair handle, obviously on the verge of tense.

Yan Hao hurriedly said: "Ning Qing, please don't be angry. I have already told Yaxin about this matter, and Yaxin herself agrees. In ancient times, there were kings who exchanged twenty cities for a beauty. With the size of Yizhou, I'm afraid It is not comparable to twenty cities. It shows that I sincerely make this request to you."

"Ning Qing, if you don't agree, I will still send Yaxin back, and I will not make this request again from now on. You will still be your royal agent. But if you agree, I swear to God, once I take Yizhou , you are the imperial chief envoy!"

Only then did Ning Ke let go of the handle of the chair and sighed.What Yan Hao said was right, he was indeed sincere in exchanging the position of Yizhou chief envoy for a beauty.Moreover, the temptation of this matter is too great. The position of a third-rank chief envoy may not be considered prominent in the capital, but it is definitely a glorious ancestor in the local area.

Thinking of this, Ning Ke said: "Your Majesty, thanks to your respect for Yaxin, let her live in the palace forever."

Yan Hao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then thank you Ning Qing."

He wasn't worried that Ning Ke would resent him because of this, because he had just said that the whole thing was a deal.If Ning Ke really cared about Ning Yaxin so much, he could not agree to Yan Hao's request.Since he agreed, it means that he regards the official position as more important than his wife. Naturally, such a person will not have two hearts because of this, but will cherish his position even more and do his best to do it well.

Yan Hao said: "That's very good. Then please Ning Qing to leave for Yizhou and Qiongzhou as soon as possible. Make use of your connections from all over the world to obtain as detailed information as possible in the two places. When I pacify the grassland in the north, I will transfer Matou regained the two islands. At that time, you, Ning Qing, will be needed to guide me!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Chapter 318

After Ning Yaxin's matter was settled, Yan Hao held a grand wedding and formally married Mo Xuan and Ning Yaxin into the palace.

At the wedding banquet, all the important officials of the court and the central government were present.

After drinking for three rounds, the carefree Dian Wei stood up and said, "Your Majesty, this year we pacified the feudal towns and the Western Regions, but I haven't been of any use, and I'm about to fade out. You must take care of who we will use soldiers next year." on me!"

Yan Hao said with a smile: "Don't worry, there will be opportunities for you to play next year!"

Everyone present burst into laughter.

Seeing that this topic was discussed, Yan Hao decided to explain his plan in public, stood up and said, "Do you know my battle plan for next year?"

Everyone was silent for a moment, Su Hong got up and said: "Your Majesty, according to the situation we discussed earlier, it's time to put down the alien races in the north next year!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, we have waited too long for this moment!" Zhao Yun also clenched his fists and said.

Yan Hao nodded: "Next year we will launch troops against Rouran and the Huns, but the question is who will lead the troops?"

Everyone looked at each other, but there was no response for a while.Indeed, the Xiongnu and Rouran are not like those small countries in the Western Regions, and even Shanyue is not worth mentioning in front of these two countries.Both of these two grassland peoples had historically plunged the Central Plains dynasty into crisis, and even broke through the Central Plains capital.

Therefore, for a military operation of this scale, the leader must have outstanding qualifications, prestige, and abilities.

"After much deliberation, only the Grand Duke himself can lead the army." Li Cunxu said out loud.

Jiang Ziya said: "After all, the old man is old, and General Li Jing is still young and powerful, and he is like a soldier. He should be the right candidate."

The crowd debated for a long time without reaching a result, Yan Hao pressed his hands and said: "Okay, dear friends, there is no need to argue, in fact, I have already made up my mind - I want to go to the imperial conquest!"

The ministers were shocked when they heard this.This is something that hasn't happened in the Great Wei Dynasty for many years.

In the past dynasties, usually only a few emperors at the beginning of the founding of the country would lead the army to fight. This is something that must be done during the period of fighting the country.But in the future, the emperors were all born and raised in the deep palace. First of all, their bodies were not strong enough, let alone the skills of using soldiers and leading them.

Moreover, the emperor is the backbone of the entire country. If something happens to the emperor, the country is in danger of collapse in an instant.Therefore, in the middle of the dynasty, there is usually no phenomenon of personal conquest by the imperial driver, and the occasional personal conquest by the imperial driver is usually a last resort, when the country is in crisis.

Wang Meng first persuaded: "Your Majesty, the battlefield is dangerous after all. You are worth a thousand gold, so it's better not to risk yourself. There are fierce generals in the court. Your Majesty can send a few generals to go out."

After Wang Meng finished speaking, everyone echoed.

In fact, Wang Meng's words are very pertinent. Logically speaking, it is not a very appropriate choice for Yujia to conquer.The reason why he wanted to conquer in person was mainly because of the dream of a conqueror in his heart.

In Chinese history, the Han nationality is not a minority that has never defeated the grasslands, but even during the Han and Tang Dynasties, the Central Plains dynasty’s control over the grasslands was always short-lived. Once the dynasty declined, the grassland peoples would come back.After the Xiongnu there were Turks, after Turks came Mongolia, after Mongolia there was Jurchen, there is no limit.

And what Yan Hao wants to do is to once and for all bring the entire area from the north of the Yin Mountain to Lake Baikal into the territory of the Great Wei for governance, just like Anxi Road has completely become part of the territory of the Great Wei.This is a feat never accomplished by any monarch in history.

Thinking of this, there is a flame burning in his chest, so he must drive himself to conquer and personally spread the great glory of Wei on the grassland!

So Yan Hao said impassionedly: "The Xiongnu and Rouran have invaded China many times. Only by the imperial conquest can I vent my anger. Only by the imperial conquest can I inspire every soldier to strive for the first. Grasslands, thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, all in my heart!"

As soon as this remark came out, all the military officers present were excited, but the civil servants still had doubts.

Ge Jianzhang said: "Your Majesty, if you leave the capital, who will take care of the overall situation here?"

Yan Hao said: "Isn't there all the ministers of the cabinet to share my worries? Ladies and gentlemen, I lead the soldiers to fight bloody battles on the front line, and I still need you, the pillars of the country, to protect the rear. Our monarchs and ministers are working together, so why not worry about the Huns? ?”

After saying this, even those civil servants couldn't help standing up, and all eyes were on Emperor Yan Hao.
