In February of the 16th year of Qianyuan, with the sound of a horn, the war started again. Zhang Huai led his army to occupy Zhenzhou. Leading the army to attack Shangjing, Zhao Luting broke Liaoyang and received troops and food from East Koryo. Zhao Luting led the army all the way north and broke through the three parts of Changbai Mountain south of Dongdong Road in Northern Liao.

In June of the 16th year of Qianyuan, Huo Qing led the forbidden army to recover the Chengdu Mansion under the leadership of the military generals. The use of fire and weapons shocked the enemy. The fire and medicine were invincible, and the blood and flesh flying on the battlefield made the enemy panic. .

In late June, the eldest daughter of the East Palace held a family banquet for Zhou Yu. A large mat was placed in the main hall of the East Palace, and the plate for the trial items was placed at the north end of the mat.

The mat was surrounded by the eldest princess and her family members who were dressed in life-like clothes, "It's only been a year, and Sister Chen has grown up to this size, and her pair of watery eyes are very similar to what His Highness the Crown Prince had when he was a child."

"Aunts, Chen'er looks better than her nephew, like her mother." The Crown Prince smiled while holding the Crown Princess' hand.

"After Brother Xu got married, why is he not as good as the Crown Princess?" the eldest princesses joked.

"Your Highness." Zhao Xi pulled the crown prince's hand.

The crown prince turned around and sent Pai, "It's all right."

The nurse carried the little Princess Le'an to the south of the mat, while the prince and concubine clapped their hands gently towards her at the north end, "Chen'er, come to Daddy."

Princess Le'an lay on the ground with her eyes wide open, and then crawled forward with a smile on her face. When she saw a pile of treasures in front of the plate, she stopped, and immediately lifted up the other with one hand. With his small hands, he grabbed the scripture coupons and rosary beads on the plate.

"Taoism?" The crown prince immediately picked up his daughter, "Chen'er knows that you, Weng Weng, listed Taoism as the state religion, so you want to support it?"

The one-year-old child naturally couldn't understand his words. Looking at his father's doting eyes, Princess Le'an let go of the rosary in his hand and stretched out his hand to grab the crown prince's nose, shouting inarticulately, "Daddy..."

The eunuch who entered the Ministry of Internal Affairs returned to Da Nei from the East Palace, entered the Chui Gong Hall and bowed: "Official family."

"How is the East Palace?"

There were military newspapers from the north and the south piled up in front of the emperor's desk, and he didn't even finish reading them for several nights. Besides the military newspapers, there were also droughts and floods in various places.

"Master Le'an seized... Daozang and Taoist instruments."

The emperor stopped his hands and raised his head, then lowered his head and dipped it in ink, "A one-year-old baby can know

What, probably just scratching at random out of curiosity. "

In August of the 16th year of Qianyuan, Emperor Yeluming of the Northern Liao Dynasty was forced to flee north. Xiao Yunze, Marquis of Nanyang, attacked Shangjing. Yeluming was assassinated by his confidants on the way to escape. The envoys went to Wei Song to seek peace and were willing to bow their heads and profess to be the suzerain.

The courtiers Fuque Shangshu asked for a peace agreement because the war in the southwest was not settled. In the Funing Hall, ministers from various provinces, six ministries, nine temples and five prisons stood one after another asking for a truce.

"Since the tenth year of Qianyuan, the Ministry of War and the Privy Council have expanded their recruitment of the forbidden army every year. Although there was a disarmament in the previous year, after the disarmament, the number of requisitions was twice as high. In March 15, another 60 troops were launched into the Northern Expedition, and the food consumed overnight was twice the usual amount. Over the past year, the food accumulated by the treasury reform due to the Northern Expedition was almost exhausted. If it continues, the national treasury will be in deficit and become a deficit.”

"Your Majesty, there is also a performance at the Sinong Temple. Apart from the Forbidden Army and the Xiang Army, there is also a standing army that combines soldiers and farmers. They did not return to the farms in time when the farming season was busy, and the autumn harvest will soon come again. There is a severe drought in the south. This year's grain harvest may be in short supply. "

"The Ministry of Industry has announced that iron smelting in Sichuan occupies half of the country's dynasty. Now the ore required by the Ministry of Industry for the Southwest War has been exhausted. I am afraid that the Wanquan Workshop..." The official swallowed, hugged his sleeves and lowered his head, "I'm afraid Both the arsenal and the arsenal will be shut down."

"Your Majesty, the longer the war lasts, the easier it will be for the sergeants to be discouraged..."

"If you lose the battle, you won't see hope. Now that the front line has seized Beijing, China, Beijing, and Tokyo, and the destruction of Liao is close at hand, why do you want to back down?"

"Your Majesty, it's not that the ministers are shrinking and fearful, but that a long battle will easily arouse public resentment. Now that General Huo Qing has brought the remaining forbidden troops out of Gyeonggi to quell the chaos, if the prefectures and towns rebel at this time, the capital...is in danger."

"That's God's death for me!" The emperor scolded, "I want to regain the homeland of the Central Plains with all my heart, if I am overthrown by my subjects because of this, then so be it."

"His Majesty."

"Okay, you don't need to persuade me any more, and you don't need to run to Funing Palace to come and talk to Fuque. After all," the emperor swung his sleeves and put them in front of his belly, raised his head and said coldly, "This is the inner court, where the married woman is. It's better for you foreign courtiers not to overstep the rules."

The ministers looked sideways at each other, then knelt down and shook their feet on their heads, "Your servants are terrified."

In September of the 16th year of Qianyuan, Southern Tubo, which had retreated successively, sent envoys to discuss peace.

The documents of the peace negotiation were sent to the capital directly to the hands of the emperor through the urgent report, and the emperor's military department and the ministers of the western mansion

Negotiate.

"The peace negotiation documents of Southern Tubo, I would like to return Yazhou and the country to restore the old relationship." Immediately, he moved out a stack of letters and memorials, "The memorials for persuading peace in the past few months, as well as the expenditure and taxation of the Ministry of Households, as well as the registrations from various places in the Si Nong Temple this year. In Tian’s situation, the Ministry of Households has no money to allocate to the Ministry of Industry’s Imperial Armament Institute, and the Wanquan Workshop will be closed soon.”

The emperor rubbed his forehead and sighed, "It didn't take long for the reform, and it was interrupted in the middle. In addition, there were two wars in a row in the past few years, and this year, the north and the south have continuously transported grain to the past..." The emperor sat down speechlessly, resting his left hand on his knee and swinging the light yellow sleeve of his right hand on his right leg, "Sure enough, the most reliable things in this world are power and money."

Several ministers looked at the peace agreement document, and the above statement was extremely sincere, "The war increases the burden of the people. At this time, the capital is empty and there is no way to increase taxes. The war has already aroused public resentment. If the donation of taxes angers the people, the consequences will be disastrous. The war between the north and the south can be stopped at one place. Now that the southern Tubo has retreated steadily and sent the peace agreement, it is willing to return the rest of the states to restore the old relationship. Their country is actually the same as the state. The two factions are fighting with each other, and the long-term war consumes too much national strength. People who are accustomed to living a comfortable life are most afraid of causing war. Your Majesty can accept the request of the Southern Tubo. The Southern Tubo has survived several generations of Ming lords for hundreds of years and has not lost its national power. Even if it lasts for a long time, at most it will recover the lost ground."

"For the rest, if we can persist for another six months and let the military equipment operate, using firearms against iron armor will definitely repel Beiliao completely."

"Where's the money?" The emperor raised his head, "You can't let me borrow it from you, can you?"

"Officials." The servant stepped into the hall and bowed.

"what's up?"

"Liu Miaoyi from Neishe asks to see you."

The emperor sat up straight and said to the ministers: "The matter of peace negotiations in the Southwest will be handled by the Privy Council. The Northern Expedition cannot be stopped. I have wasted so much manpower, material and financial resources, and I will never give Beiliao a chance to breathe."

"Yes."

After the ministers left, the emperor called Liu Miaoyi to enter again.

"All blessings, Your Majesty."

The emperor sat up propped up, raised his hand and shook his head, then walked to the desk and sat down, "The blessings of the holy bow are all used up, and the army has stopped the enemy at the throat, but there is a sudden message from the rear saying that there is no I have strength." The emperor spread his hands again, and then fell back on the chair, "How do you think this battle should be fought?"

"The manufacture of military weapons costs a lot of money, but the barbarians in northern Xinjiang are most powerful with gold and iron horses. Iron armor can only be broken by fire and weapons. The country also relies on fire and weapons to defeat the enemy. Your Majesty is worried about money and food." Liu Miaoyi bowed at the table

before.

"A soft person is vulnerable to sharp weapons, and iron armor is the same in front of fire weapons. In addition to brute force, war also has brains. The brave are certainly respectable, but the wise and brave are feared."

Liu Miaoyi walked forward with her head down and took out a notebook from her sleeve, and the servant went up and down the steps to forward it.

"What is this?" The emperor picked it up, and immediately flipped through it.

"The food and treasures that my elder brother Tuo Chen handed over to His Majesty, my elder brother said, are in the Xincao Gate in the east of the outer capital, and His Majesty can send someone to pick them up at any time if needed."

"I forgot about your brother." The emperor was overjoyed when he saw the various grains listed in the booklet, and immediately raised his head and asked, "Your brother was wounded by a knife before, is he healed now?"

Liu Miaoyi nodded, "Sister-in-law is a person who thinks of love, no matter how big the fire is, she would not dare to hit hard, it's just that some minor injuries did not hurt the vitals."

"What does he want?"

Liu Miaoyi shook her head.

The emperor put the book down, "He didn't tell you, but I know that you are the first person I use in the new law, but you will never be the last."

After Liu Miaoyi stepped down, the emperor summoned Neidong Mensi to serve as an official in the inner servant province.

"Officials."

Qi Liu handed over a booklet to the official, and the emperor ordered: "Send someone to transport all these grains to the household department for military rations. Remember to carefully check the booklet before handing it over to the household department."

"Yes."

The emperor clapped his hands and got up and returned to the inner court in the shoulder car. He leaned on the back of the shoulder car and sighed, "If the fighting in the southwest stops, the food should last for a while."

The servant was by his side, "This Liu Huaijin is really a good material to be a businessman."

The emperor rubbed his folded hands in front of his belly, "Fengming Qishan, I don't know if there are coiling dragons and crouching tigers, but there is a celestial official Shangshen."

------------------------------

Inside the Kunning Hall, Princess Fuqing was waiting in the courtyard of the outer hall, swinging on the swing while looking back at the arch, until she heard the sound of footsteps stopping in unison, happily jumping off the swing.

"Father." Princess Fuqing ran to the emperor and leaned into his arms.

The emperor froze for a moment, then looked at the quiet courtyard and gently scratched his daughter's nose, "Didn't you get reprimanded by your mother for being naughty again?"

Princess Fuqing shook her head and took the emperor's hand to the side hall, "Ruhua has something to tell daddy."

Before he had walked a few steps, he saw his mother coming out of the main hall, "All blessings to the official family."

"All blessings to the official family."

Princess Fuqing greeted her mother with a blessing, "Master, all blessings,"

But she didn't look like she was about to let go, instead she said coquettishly to her mother: "It's just a little while, and I'll return my father to my mother after I finish talking."

Xiao Youqing shifted her gaze to her daughter, "You child, your father is not your mother's."

"Dad said it himself, and my daughter heard it in the room that day."

"..."

The emperor immediately laughed heartily, "My girl is as temperamental as I am, she dares to say anything."

Xiao Youqing raised her brows, "It's not all because of your habit, the girl's speech is also so straightforward, she will not be able to marry in the future."

"I'm not going to marry," Princess Fuqing pouted to her mother, and immediately took the emperor's hand, "I want to stay with my father, my mother and my brother all the time."

The emperor glanced at Xiao Youqing, then shook his head helplessly and followed the little princess to the side hall, "Slow down, daddy won't run away with others."

The author has something to say: I wish all the little ones who took the college entrance examination a title on the gold list~

Note: All ministries and such are fictitious, and I added a direction word in front of each country, such as East Koryo, Northern Liao, and Southern Tubo (fictional fictional fictional, the author is really a waste of names) Ahhh...just as it is another dynasty in the normal world)

In the north, they learn from the official system of the Central Plains while retaining their own tribal system (speaking of life-saving dog heads are not afraid of death, in fact, this kind of tribal culture was relatively backward in ancient times)
