Your Majesty, after he played stupid and overturned the car

Yubei hadn't gotten much favor from the Chinu tribe all these years, even the old Hou Ye and the second son died at the hands of the Chinu tribe. Qi Chaoce's defeat this time really set Daliang's spirit down.

The court quarreled for a long time because of the battle between the Lord and the Lord. It was not until the quarrel became dry that the officials realized that the Son of Heaven had never opened his mouth today. Even Qi Yanxing, who was born in the Qi family of Yubei, stood aside without saying a word.

Ming Wanzhao said in a low voice, "It is not impossible to talk about peace."

Seeing that he seemed to be loosening his words, all the officials looked at each other, the master monk had no time to relax, and heard the emperor's cold and mocking voice again.

laugh.

"The condition is that the red slaves should go back to the grasslands and deserts of northern Xinjiang, and not set foot in the territory of Daliang. Which love minister is competent?"

So the Chaolu Hall fell silent for an instant.

Qi Yanxing couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud.

Yubei lost, and the peace talks must suffer at this time, but Daliang has not yet reached the point where peace talks are needed to end the war.

Seeing that no one answered, Ming Wanzhao slapped the armrest of the dragon chair hard, frightening all the officials, and then reprimanded in a cold voice: "Shut up if you can't do it! Lingxi County and Jiangdong County have both fallen into Northern Xinjiang In the hands of the people, how many people took back the land with their lives, and you want to give it away when you say it? Liang Erlang has no cowards, and courtiers have no waste! Blindly bowing your head to the barbarian land, it is better to go directly to Northern Xinjiang and recommend yourself as his Northern Xinjiang The ministers go!"

This is a serious word, one bad thing is the charge of treason, the officials knelt down tremblingly, and did not dare to answer.

Seeing that everyone was honest, Ming Wanzhao's tone returned to its usual calmness.

"Go back to your errands, Qi Yanxing, Xing Ye, Xu Zhiwei, follow me to Chengming Pavilion."

Chengming Pavilion was only called the cabinet during the Shengyuan period. Before that, it was the place where the emperor summoned courtiers to discuss matters.

Ming Wanzhao cut to the chase, "Lingxi has rushed to help Yubei, but there is still a Shago tribe opposite Lingxi, so it's hard to guarantee that Zhebu won't take the opportunity to make trouble."

Xing Ye murmured: "Your Majesty, you mean that Yijing will also send troops?"

"Soldiers and horses come next." Qi Yanxing interjected, "Yubei and Lingxi have guarded the frontier for many years, and there is no shortage of soldiers and horses, but they lack supplies and generals." No matter how powerful soldiers and horses are, without generals, they are just a mess.

"That's right." Ming Wanzhao said in a flat tone, "There used to be fourteen guards in Daliang, but now there are not enough fourteen guards, and there are not many available people." It should be Qi Yanxing, after all, he is from the Qi family, but he didn't ask, but hesitated: "Then what does your majesty want?"

"Let Lu Yunchuan go." Ming Wanzhao said lightly.

Not only Xing Ye, but Qi Yanxing was also taken aback, he knew about the incident between Lu Yunchuan and Ming Wanzhao, so he never thought that Ming Wanzhao would be willing to let Lu Yunchuan go back.

Ming Wanzhao lowered his eyes slightly, and said: "Lu Yunchuan is the eldest son of Duke Rongsu. He led the army for several years and returned to Lingxi. The Zhechong Mansion in Lingxi must obey his orders. In this way, Lu Ziyuan can feel at ease. Yu Yubei, help Qi Chaoce stabilize the situation."

He had already made this decision.

If Qi Yanxing returned to Yubei, not to mention that he has been away from home for many years and has long been ignorant of the situation of the Beifu army, even if he really stabilized Yubei, it would definitely shake Qi Chaoce's prestige.

After much deliberation, the most suitable one is still Lu Yunchuan.

"Duke Rongsu was wronged back then." Ming Wanzhao said softly, "What I mean is to restore the hereditary replacement of Duke Rongsu, make Lu Ziyuan the princess, and Lu Yunchuan the eldest son, leaving the name of Zuo Xiaowei. .”

"Also, posthumously confer the second-rank imperial order on Mrs. Rongsu's wife."

He had personally heard Lu Yunchuan mention the woman named Zijin. She was a girl from Northern Xinjiang, but she was also the wife of Mrs. Rongsu who had stayed up all night with lamps on to sew winter clothes and shoes for soldiers.

Lingxi's glory also has her share.

Xing Ye guessed that sooner or later the new emperor would return the dignity of the Rongsu Duke's mansion, but he didn't expect to seal three of them at once. Counting the famous teacher, Mrs. Rongsu is from Northern Xinjiang after all."

"But she was married to Duke Rongsu." Ming Wanzhao retorted, "If she married her husband, she married someone from Liang, so that's someone from Liang. It was the soldiers from Lingxi who really fought against the people from Northern Xinjiang, and they were all willing to accept honor." Mrs. Su's wife, what other people have to gossip about?"

Xing Ye was dumbfounded.

It's true, the soldiers who are really in danger don't mind this lady from northern Xinjiang, so what else can others say?

Seeing that the discussion was about to come to an end, Xu Zhiwei, who had never said anything, said in a trembling and low voice: "Well, Your Majesty! After the construction of the ballista is completed, only three of them have been built. Let the Ministry of War try it out. The chariot and crossbow came first, which happened to be able to make Governor Lu one by one, no, Lu Shizi took it to the side

+ stand,,

1 child.Xu Zhiwei was timid but smart, and immediately changed his name to Lu Shizi, and Ming Wanzhao was quite pleasing to his ears, and praised: "Good job."

"By the way, I have one more thing to do." Xing Ye suddenly said, "Recently Mr. Su has been complaining about his illness, and the official department has a lot of official duties. I am watching the eldest son of the Ye family. Mr. Ye, who is now serving as the minister of the Ministry of Rites, is doing the imperial examination recently. He is stable. It can be of great use."

Originally, Ming Wanzhao didn't trust Song Zhou in this matter, so he handed it over to Su Jinhuai. The clinker Su Jinhuai has been ill, so the job fell back to the Ministry of Rites.Song Zhou was also from an aristocratic family, and he was always worried about the peace faction. He didn't want to offend His Majesty at this pass, not to mention that this year's imperial examinations seemed to be held for poor scholars, so he didn't join in the fun and left the job to the newly appointed Ye Shilang.

Ming Wanzhao thought about it for a while. In the past, Ye Danran didn't show the mountains or dew. He was different from Su Jingci who couldn't bear it. He really didn't have any interest in this court. Dan Ran only showed some edge.

That was his ambition before becoming an official.

It's just that the court controlled by the aristocratic family in the past has smoothed out his ambition.

Ming Wanzhao nodded, "Let's not move him for now, after this year's imperial examination is passed, it won't be too late for him to be transferred."

Xing Ye naturally had no objection.

Su Mansion, Su Jinhuai is indeed a lingering sick bed. He has worked hard all these years, and now that the Lu family is abolished, he will be a little powerless.

Shen Lin sat on the chair and sighed softly: "Teacher, Yu Bei has lost."

Su Jinhuai looked expressionless, and said: "Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. The old Hou Ye was also defeated and lost his life on the battlefield. Since Qi Chaoce is still alive, the lost face will naturally be recovered by himself."

"Your Majesty wants Lu Yunchuan to go back." Shen Lin lowered his eyes and said, "Not only that, but also restored the hereditary status of the Rongsu Duke's Mansion, conferred the title of Princess Lu Ziyuan, and posthumously conferred the second rank of Rongsu Duke's wife Order."

Su Jinhuai's complexion changed, "The Lu family dominates one side, and the Qi family not only dominates Yubei, but also published a minister in Beijing. Your Majesty is raising a tiger."

Shen Lin was a little hesitant. In terms of merit, the Lu family could afford this reward, and Qi Yanxing's hard work for many years was not considered a forced reward.But if you look at it in the long run, His Majesty seems to be acting out of emotion.

But Su Jinhuai couldn't lie down anymore, he was about to stand up while propping up the couch with his skinny fingertips, and said hoarsely: "Change, I want to see Your Majesty."

Just when Su Jingci entered the door with a medicine bowl in his hand, he frowned slightly and said, "Father, what are you going to do?"

Shen Lin also got up quickly, and said with a wry smile: "Teacher heard that His Majesty is going to reward the Lu family, and is about to enter the palace to have an audience." Su Jingci understood the reason, he paused, and gave Shen Lin a wink.

When the father and son talked, Shen Lin naturally understood the interest and withdrew.

Su Jingci sat on the chair where Shen Lin was sitting just now, stirring the concoction with a porcelain spoon, he said softly: "Father, do you want to ask His Majesty to take back your life?"

Su Jinhuai sat up, took a breath before saying: "Your Majesty is going to raise a second Lu Zuoxian."

"Lu Guanglan is not Lu Zuoxian." Su Jingci sighed softly, "Right now is the best way. If there is a real war on the border, Daliang is short of generals now. If His Majesty gives honor to the Rongsu government, it is also honor to Daliang. It's just a loss, not to mention the relationship between His Majesty and Lu Shizi... why bother?

Because of this, it is unpleasant to seek His Majesty. "

"As for the Yubei Qi family."

Su Jingci handed the medicine bowl to Su Jinhuai, and continued: "Master Qi assisted the late Emperor and His Majesty. Not only you and me, but also the whole court know his thoughts. He will not hurt His Majesty, let alone Daliang. .”

Emperor Angan abandoned Anyi and resolutely declared war with the family, and Qi Yanxing abandoned his hometown and guarded the Ming family and his son in Yijing for nearly 30 years.

"Father." Su Jingci seemed to hesitate for a moment, then said with a wry smile, "You can do your best for Daliang, Qi Yanxing and Lu Yunchuan can too, His Majesty is decisive in killing and attacking people, since he employs people, it proves that he trusts people, whether it is the Qi family or Lu Shi, if he hurts Daliang, he will not show mercy either."

Su Jinhuai finished the medicine and said, "You are very satisfied with Your Majesty."

Su Jingci smiled helplessly, "At least he let me see the light. He is the one who really breaks the prison of the family."

"But he may not be a good emperor." Su Jinhuai said, "He has too many worries, the emperor should be ruthless."

"That must be a tyrant." Su Jingci laughed, "Forgive my son for disagreeing, the emperor should put the people first, and the people are the cornerstone of the country. The emperor loves the people and governs the country. How can he be ruthless?"

"Not only must there be love, but also know how to break it. If Your Majesty is really trapped by love, why send Lu Shizi to the battlefield and leave Mr. Qi in Beijing?"

Su Jinhuai paused, and he was shaken.

He had also been an emperor's teacher, and he trained emperors who were absolutely selfless and only wanted to be the leader. For example, Ming Rongzhou, he confessed to being in the palace all his life.

Su Jingci looked at his absent-minded father, and suddenly asked: "Father is dissatisfied with His Majesty, is it because there is already a candidate for the Son of Heaven that you are satisfied with?"

Su Jin Huai suddenly recovered, looked at him, neither admitting nor denying.

Su Jingci didn't go on, just smiled gently, "A good bird chooses a tree to live in, and the son has already chosen a tree." Su Jinhuai could hear that this was Su Jingci's position to himself.He chose the current emperor as the king and was willing to be his assistant minister.
