Chapter 81 My family has 300,000 soldiers
“I advise you to take out your heart, lungs and intestines, dry them, wash them, and tidy them up! I am becoming more and more clear now. The troubles on your mind are not outside , It’s not the barbarians, it’s you, right here in this room!”
“I am guilty, I am waiting for death!”
Above the main hall, from the top to the prime minister, down to the bottom! Ordinary civil and military personnel all knelt on the ground.
Emperor Yan Ji Runhao was sitting on the dragon chair, looking at the kneeling civil and military officials below. In his heart, he had no sense of accomplishment at all as a ninth-five-year-old.
This location belongs to that family;
This location belongs to that family;
And this location has always belonged to whose family.
His court, his civil and military affairs are not arranged according to what he wants, but are inherent to the various powerful families in the past hundred years.
There are occasional back-and-forths, and occasional strife.
It's nothing more than one family going down to another,
Official position, this important weapon of the country, is like a stall in the vegetable market.
My grandfather sold vegetables here, and my father also sold vegetables here, so of course I should sell vegetables here too!
Even if I can’t even tell the dishes apart, I still want to occupy this stall.
Farmers and uncles in the field brag that the emperor can eat ten big oily pancakes in the morning. This is a joke;
But there is really no essential difference between the emperor's court of Yan and the market where the peasant old man went every day.
Although Ji Runhao has promoted many ministers from poor families since he succeeded to the throne, they are still far from being successful. Compared with the powerful clans, they are far behind.
However, at any rate, everyone is still pursuing a sense of ritual.
The one on the dragon chair is angry,
The one under the dragon chair should kneel down immediately,
Everyone calmly apologizes and
finishes the drama today.
Of course, there is a reason why the emperor is angry today. In recent years, the conflict between the imperial court and the Zhenbei Hou Mansion has become almost intense.
But with the issuance of the sinner's edict, this originally turbulent situation is being broken. Soon, the antagonistic relationship between the central government and the local powerful vassals will be brought to the surface.
Once it is placed on the table, there is no way to continue to reconcile it.
The Sinner's Edict was the letter of war issued by Emperor Yan to the Zhenbei Hou Mansion.
For this reason,
in the past two days,
the ministers in the court quickly became active, representing their respective families to put pressure on the emperor.
It is said that the Zhenbei Hou Mansion is the pillar of the northern frontier of the empire and cannot be lightly touched;
Some people say that the 300,000-strong Zhenbei Army is the foundation for the survival of the Yan Dynasty;
Some people say that the move to cut down the vassal state will shake the country's foundation;
In short,
because As a result of the emperor's self-inflicted edict, the ministers had to stand up immediately and became conservatives who opposed the reduction of the vassal state.
But only Ji Runhao knows,
These people,
at first, were willing to see themselves attack the Zhenbei Hou Mansion.
If the aristocratic family is not concerned about whether it is prosperous or not, then the Beihou Mansion in Beifeng County is undoubtedly the first aristocratic family in Dayan!
It is normal for the emperor to want to reduce his vassal status, and the ministers and the aristocratic families behind them can also understand;
After all, as long as the emperor is not stupid, he will definitely want to reduce his vassal status. Centralization of power and supremacy are the lifelong pursuit of every emperor.
Since it is necessary to cut it, then the emperor goes to gnaw on the hardest bone of the Zhenbeihou Mansion. This is naturally what everyone is most happy to see happen.
Because it is hard and difficult to chew, then please go and grind it yourself, Emperor.
But things are different now. The emperor is determined to tear open that fig leaf!
Once the Zhenbei Hou Mansion is completely cornered,
are the 300,000 Zhenbei Army easy to deal with?
Beifeng County is only such a big place, and it borders the desert, so there really isn't much oil and water.
Once the three hundred thousand cavalry are released, can the six counties of Lesha, Tiancheng, Xiahu, Sanshi, Huwei and Yinlang escape?
The foundation of the clan is not in the court. The court is only their spokesperson. Their foundation is in the place.
And once the local weapons come together, who knows who you are?
At that time, without the suppression by the Zhenbei Houfu, the barbarians will follow suit and come in again, well, the Yan Kingdom will be completely reduced to a pot of porridge.
Although the Qian Kingdom outside was not up to par, and the Jin Kingdom was also in internal turmoil, this did not mean that the emperor of the Qian Kingdom and the wealthy families of the Jin Kingdom were really willing to give up this good situation and not do something while the Yan Kingdom was in chaos.
In short,
You can’t fight, you must not fight!
“The Zhenbei Army has six towns, three of which have already been deployed.
One town is stationed in Tongcheng at the junction of Beifeng County and Lesha County; the other town is stationed in Beifeng County. Liangcheng at the junction of the county and Sanshi County; a town stationed in the border city at the junction of Beifeng County and Xiahu County
I think you all should know what the Zhenbei Hou Mansion intends to do with this move.
This is forcing me to get married, this is forcing me to retreat, this is waving a knife in front of my eyes, and asking me, are you afraid? "
Ji Runhao stood up from the dragon chair,
continued to say loudly:
"I, the great Yan, have never had the difficulty of establishing and defending the country!
Among the emperors of the Yan dynasty, there are very few who did not go to war personally, and there were even three emperors who died in battle!
I know what you are worried about, and I also understand what you are worried about, but now, it is no longer the time to cover your eyes and pretend nothing happened.
Tomorrow, once the 150,000 Zhenbei Army cavalry moves south, how long can the three counties of Lesha, Sanshi and Xiahu hold on?
If the Zhenbei Hou Mansion really dares to be a little more bold and leave the desert barbarians alone, or even directly borrow troops from the barbarian royal court, then hundreds of thousands of cavalry can march straight in, and it won't take long to defeat them. If you reach Tiancheng County,
you can reach the foot of the capital!
You are now persuading me to take a step back, but have you ever thought about what would happen if I retreated and the Zhenbei Hou Mansion did not retreat?
Have you ever thought about it,
I am the emperor who talks better, my Ji family talks better,
or the cavalry swordsmen of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion are better talkative? ”
The ministers below did not dare to speak. They could only bury their heads lower and lower.
"That's all for what I said. Yesterday, I ordered the eldest prince Ji Wujiang to lead the troops of Tiancheng County to the Shishan Camp;
The garrison troops of Huwei County and Yinlang County also received my order yesterday. Transfer to the capital , the Forbidden Army in Beijing has also ordered to prepare for war.
I will give you half a month,
In half a month,
I want to see your attitude! br>
For hundreds of years, the emperors of our Ji family have always used the imperial army as the main force when going on expeditions, supplemented by tribes of various ethnic groups. After many hardships, they have been able to protect our country Zuo of Yan to this day;
The remaining words of persuasion are mine. I don’t want to hear it again, I have made up my mind;
If the Zhenbei Army dares to make any changes again,
I will look directly at the conspiracy! ”
After that,
Ji Runhao waved and turned around,
“Retreat!”
…………
“Your Majesty, the Second Highness is waiting at the Yangxin Hall.”
"Send someone to tell him later, let him pay more attention to the Forbidden Army, and stop running to me to ask for instructions. He is no longer a child."
"This servant obeys the order."
"Change clothes."
"Where your Majesty is going to leave the palace, I will arrange it."
"West Garden."< br>
…………
The West Garden was built during the reign of the late emperor.
When the late emperor was old, he lamented the inconvenience of living in the capital, so he sent an envoy to Qianguo, saying that he envied the Jiangnan gardens of Qianguo.
In order to maintain diplomatic relations, Emperor Qian ordered his Minister of Industry to lead a group of skilled craftsmen to the State of Yan and help the State of Yan build the West Garden.
Even the Qian Kingdom used this as propaganda, saying that the barbarians of the Yan people loved the culture of the Qian Kingdom, and the emperor of the Qian Kingdom was kind and sent people to build a garden for them, which made the Yan people extremely happy. They are all country bumpkins who have never seen the world.
However, most people in the Qian Kingdom did not know that in the yearly gift of money from the Qian Kingdom to the Yan Kingdom, there was an extra sum of money, which was the money to build the garden.
The late emperor died in this West Garden, but Ji Runhao didn't like the small bridges and flowing water in the West Garden and basically never lived there.
However, when the guest from the north entered the capital, Ji Runhao ordered him to stay in the West Garden.
When Ji Runhao and Wei Zhonghe just walked into the front hall of the West Garden, they smelled the aroma of wine and meat.
In the courtyard,
A man over fifty with white temples was sitting at the stone table,
At his feet, there were five large jars of wine, and on the table, there were more than ten plates of hard vegetables, ranging from chicken, duck, fish, to pigs, dogs, cattle and sheep.
After seeing this, Ji Runhao took off his cloak and threw it to Wei Zhonghe next to him. He turned over his sleeves while walking in,
cursing at the same time :
“You have a good appetite.”
The Marquis of Zhenbei saw Ji Runhao coming,
He smiled,
did not get up,
just sat like that and said directly:
“It’s been a long time in the Hou Mansion with little water and clear soup. I can’t get enough of the wine and meat, and the food in the North is also rough, how can it compare to the skills of the imperial chefs in the restaurants in Beijing?”
Said,
Zhenbeihou personally tore off a duck leg and handed it directly to Ji Runhao.
Ji Runhao didn't dislike it, reached out to take it, and took a big bite after sitting down.
Zhenbei Hou stood up, poured a glass of wine into the wine bowl in front of Ji Runhao, and asked at the same time:
"Are you swearing?"
Ji Runhao heard this and didn't say anything. Not caring that there was still duck meat in his mouth, he held the duck leg in one hand and pointed at the Marquis of Zhenbei with the other hand,
He scolded:
"You guys, I just went to court and someone sent you a message?"
"Isn't that right? You have to send the message as soon as possible. This is a good sign. You have to do it as soon as possible. You deliberately used soldiers from the city defense battalion to garrison the West Garden instead of the imperial army. Isn't it just to make it easier for them to deliver messages to me?
There is also a large box of letters in my toilet, which are available in every house. They are all made of good paper. Hey, I have been thinking about whether I can get a more scholarly smell down there after wiping them for a long time.
If you want to see it, go to my hut and pick it up yourself, there are a lot of unused ones.”
Ji Runhao swallowed the duck meat in his mouth, picked up the wine bowl and took a big sip,
said:
"I don't want to look at it, I hate the smell, the smell is unbearable!"< br>
“Oh, there is really no need to watch it. Anyway, in the end, you will be thrown into the pit.”
After eating the duck legs,
Ji Runhao picked up the chopsticks, brought a plate of fish in front of him, and started eating by himself.
Not to be outdone, the Marquis of Zhenbei picked up a basin of elbows and placed it in front of him, chewing on it while cursing:
“If the people of Qian country see you eating like this, you may not be able to go back. They say that the Emperor of Yan is so poor that he can’t even afford food!”
"Mom, I have a great meal with you!"
"Hahaha, yes. When we were kids, we had a fight over a chicken drumstick. Whoever won would eat the drumstick. The smell is so damn delicious;
Now, I still can't forget it. "
"I was really crazy at first, and I actually competed with you to see who could eat more. "
"Hahahaha, who calls you stupid? I grew up in the north and ate the same food as the big-headed soldiers. Now that I have entered your palace, my eyes will turn green when I look at the food. After all, you actually compete with me, hahaha! "
"Come on, let's go. "
"Okay, let's go one. ”
The emperor and the Marquis of Zhenbei picked up the wine bowls and touched one.
The Marquis of Zhenbei pushed down the mouth of the bowl, and the emperor also pushed the mouth of the bowl down, and banged it flushly.
Then he drank it all in one gulp,
while wiping his mouth with his sleeves in a very inconspicuous manner.
"On Shu Lan's fiftieth birthday, I couldn't let you stay with Shu Lan. When I meet Shu Lan in the future, she may scold me no matter how hard she will scold me."
"Hey, Shu Lan is virtuous, you will understand."
"Of course I know she is virtuous!"
After two large bowls of wine, Ji Runhao's mood was obviously a little high, and he continued:
"If not You are so shameless, how could Shu Lan follow you and live in the wind and sand for most of his life? , what about you? ”
"I did it for the sake of the future of the royal family. I had no choice but to..."
"Yes, yes, don't think of yourself as so great and helpless.
"..." Ji Runhao
"Ahhhh! "
Ji Runhao shouted,
He picked up the wine jar and started pouring himself wine.
Then he slapped the wine jar on the table,
pointed at Zhenbei Hou and cursed:
“You bastard, you deliberately take advantage of Shu Lan every time. Stab in front of me!"
"I said, Ji Runhao, don't just drink some horse urine and accuse people unjustly, who the hell brought up Shu Lan first this time?"
"It's you, it's you, it's you!"
"..." Zhenbei Hou.
“But Qian girl, she looks exactly like Shu Lan. She is exactly the same as Shu Lan when she was young.”
Zhenbei Hou stood up immediately,
Pointing at Ji Runhao,
He scolded:
“You are so shameless, is there any father-in-law who talks about his daughter-in-law like you do?”
“Bah, Qian girl is my daughter-in-law, and my son wants to marry your daughter. , I am happy, I am happy, from now on Qian Yatou’s child will follow my surname Ji, no My surname is Li!”
“Don’t think that I don’t know about your royal family’s bad habits. How rare is it throughout the ages?”
“Damn it, I won’t let you take advantage of it. I’m so cheap, you don’t want me to call you daddy!”
"What are you calling me?"
"..." Ji Runhao.
Ji Runhao held back his words.
Zhenbei Hou sat down with some disappointment.
“To be honest, I really don’t want my girl to marry into the royal family.”
"As long as Qian Yatou gives birth to an imperial grandson, I will make him the emperor's grandson. If I live long enough to live until the emperor's grandson comes of age, I can directly let the emperor's grandson succeed me!"
"Oh, I'm not worried about my girl being in the imperial family. Being bullied in the palace."
"Then what are you worried about?"
"I am worried that after you die, your old Ji family will be bullied by Girl Qian."
"..." Ji Runhao.
"Your second child is an honest person. He may not be so honest, but even if he is not honest, he is still the most honest among your children.
Qian Yatou, just like Shu Lan when she was young, Born with intelligence and a clear mind;
But Unlike her mother, she has been taken by me to kill barbarians since she was a child.
In case, I say just in case, just in case one day;
You are gone. Your second child has ascended the throne, and your second child is gone..."
"..." Ji Runhao.
"Tsk, tsk, you princes and nobles of the Ji family, don't be slaughtered to the last few by girl Qian. If this is the case, we are drinking under the underworld, I still feel a little sorry for you. "
After hearing this, Ji Runhao
was not angry at all,
said directly:
"The clan's gang of wine and rice bags are just a waste of rice and food. I can't kill them, but Qian girl kills them well, kills them well!"
"You are really open-minded."
< br>"Haha, I chose it The second child is the future prince. I don’t know what the second child’s character is.
I chose Qian Yatou to be the crown princess. I don’t know what Qian Yatou is...”
“Yes. What?”
"What kind of tutor is it?"
"What's wrong with my tutor from the Li family!"
"I didn't say what's wrong, so you just blew your beard and stared. Look, you feel guilty first. ."
"I didn't!"
"You did."
"I don't have it."
"You do!"
"Okay, I have it."
"This is right, you and I can do it again Living for ten or twenty years is not a problem, right?
Wait until the two of us do what we really want to do together,
To Dayan,
to us Yan people,
to lay a big territory,
to our children and grandchildren, to lay a big foundation!
As long as your family has a big business, you are not afraid of what they made!
To take another ten thousand steps back, even if Qian girl really wants Si Chen and wants to be the queen of my Dayan, just be so!
The child in her belly is still my grandson. She can take it as her own. Finally, she has had enough playing. She is old and can’t play anymore. She wants to take a rest. I won’t give it back. Do I have to return the government to my grandson? ”
Speaking of this,
Ji Runhao reached out and grabbed Zhenbei Hou’s hand,
Yan Huang’s eyes were completely red,
"I can really look past anything, I really can let go of anything.
The only thing I can't let go of is one thing!
Hundreds of years,
Hundreds of years!
I, the Yan people, have been fighting the barbarians of the entire East for hundreds of years!
If it weren't for us, the Yan people, dying in the desert generation after generation, relying on the trash of the Three Kingdoms, they would have become slaves to the barbarians!
But even so, they still call me Yan people barbarians!
You know,
In their eyes,
I am from Yan,
It's the same as the barbarians!
They are all barbarians, uncivilized savages! "
Hearing this, Zhenbei Hou let Ji Runhao hold his hand, closed his eyes, nodded, and said:
"Yes, yes. ”
"I can't forget that a hundred years ago, the barbarian army went south to fight a decisive battle with our country, Dayan!
The Emperor of Naqian State actually dared to bring 500,000 troops to sneak attack on our empty rear area, Dayan!"
>Hearing this, Zhenbei Hou also gritted his teeth.
His family, the Zhenbei Hou line, laid its foundation in the battle that defeated the 500,000-strong army of the Qian Kingdom!
"Liang Ting, do you still remember what we said when we were children?"
Zhenbei Hou nodded and responded:
"I remember."
…………
At that time,
two ten-year-old boys ,
We just had a fight over a chicken leg
Ten-year-old Li Liangting was enjoying chicken drumsticks,
Ten-year-old Ji Runhao looked at the side with envy with a bruised nose and face;
After a while,
Ji Runhao said:
"I heard from outsiders that the people of Qian country call us Yan people Yan barbarians, just like we call barbarians."
"Well, I heard that too. ”
“It’s okay if they call us barbarians; from now on, when I become I want them to see how terrible the real barbarians are;
I want their emperors and their princesses to be captured in the capital and locked up in pig pens. They danced for me, sang for me, and composed poems for me!
I want to trample everything they think they are right under my feet! "
"Unfortunately, I can't be the emperor. "
Li Liangting, who is ten years old and has just finished eating chicken legs, said fearlessly.
"Then you are really useless. If someone calls you a barbarian, you can't even take it back. ”十岁且刚刚被揍了一顿的姬润豪讽刺道。
十岁的还在舔着嘴角油花且还在回味着鸡腿美味的李梁亭听了,
Somewhat unconvinced, I smacked my lips,
trying to think of some way I could fight back,
thinking about it,
I finally thought of it,
>
Tao:
"My family has three hundred thousand soldiers." (End of Chapter)
