Chapter 926 Ping Xiwang’s new product!
“I know your taste in Yuan Tuge’s paintings.”
Ji Chengjue was admiring the paintings.
When Li Fusheng of the Liang Dynasty died in battle, before King Pingxi crossed the Wangjiang River, he met an official of the Yan Dynasty who had become an official. This man was good at painting erotic palace pictures as a taste;
And his People also have the integrity to destroy their families to relieve troubles. The original intention was to inspire the King of the West to quell the chaos. Later, he was convinced and was willing to paint and contribute.
The painting was a bit slow to complete because he fell ill during the process. Even now, he is not in good health, but he finally handed in the work as agreed.
You can say that the scene in the painting is unsightly, but you can also say that it is "beautiful", an art, and a treasure;
For this thing, it mainly depends on the evaluation. The status of a person.
The pictures in this volume are basically dominated by plump and charming women. Isn’t it because they are attracted to someone?
However, after the painting was brought up, before the owner had time to look at it, the emperor took it over and looked at it with gusto.
"There is still a way back." The prince reminded.
When the emperor heard this,
his hands immediately trembled and he put the album aside, as if he had seen some wild beast.
Soon,
the emperor said again;
"Just tell the queen, I'm a little injured? Internal injury, yes, internal injury, I need to rest and rest."
"This can't be done. Doesn't it mean that I failed to take good care of you in Shanggu County and left you alone?" Is the safety of the dragon body in danger?”
“The man named Zheng is still not a brother. We are still not brothers. If we are brothers, we will have to worry about each other!”
“A true warrior must dare to face a bleak life. Besides, it’s not a tragedy for you.”
"You are a full man, but you don't know how to support a man."
"Haha."
"Aren't you tired?" the emperor asked curiously.
In his harem, there is only one queen and one concubine;
But in the back house of the prince named Zheng, there are already four including Princess Fu.
Prince Yun Danfeng shook his head gently and said disdainfully: "Where is this?"
The corners of the emperor's mouth curved slightly and he sneered. Obviously, the emperor didn't believe it.
"Who told you not to exercise more in your early years."
"Okay, okay, stop showing off your strength as a fifth-grade peerless martial arts master. You really have the nerve to be so embarrassed all the time. "This."
"I can't compete with others. Doesn't it show a difference with someone like you?"
The carriage stopped.
The emperor and the prince got out of the car.
The Sword Master was sitting not far away, and Eunuch Wei was waiting on him.
Xue San and Fan Li are preparing the beggar's chicken,
A Ming is setting out the wine glasses;
Furthermore, there are a group of guards who are not wearing brocade clothes. Cruising.
The emperor patrolled eastward to the Weihe River and then turned back. He passed by Fengxin City, picked up the queen and the prince, and headed back to the capital.
But in fact, the emperor himself went on a "tour incognito" with Lord Ping Xi. Another way, go west to the Wangjiang River.
The emperor did not sit down when Luan Jia was there, he just wanted to play.
“Alas.”
The emperor sat on the ground and sighed:
"My surname is Zheng, after we say goodbye this time, I don't know when I will see you next."
The prince also sat down next to him and said;
"Maybe When you were dying, you waited until I led the army into the capital, and then you lay on the dragon couch, holding my hand and asking me for help. "
The emperor rolled his eyes at King Pingxi;
The prince continued:
"According to your temperament, I might as well say something hypocritical at that time. If the prince cannot be supported, you can take his place.
It seems generous, but in fact, before you die, you will use our hypocrisy to block my way. . ”
“Say, Zheng, do you have such far-reaching thoughts? Have you arranged my funeral clearly? ”
"Isn't this how all dramas are played? Don't worry. When the day comes, I will come as late and as slowly as possible so that you can hold on until the end. When Eunuch Wei shouts in surprise that Prince Pingxi is here, you can just close your eyes. , so as not to have to watch you dying."
When Eunuch Wei, who was spreading a blanket next to him, heard this, he trembled slightly;
Fortunately, Eunuch Wei was already used to this kind of unscrupulous behavior between the emperor and King Pingxi, which was even more terrifying than the relationship between the late emperor and the two princes.
"Zheng, let me talk about something practical. The front is Wangjiang. After I crossed the river and met Luan Jia, I became my wife. There are some things I will say in my letter in the future that no one can really say right now. The person said it was appropriate.
Wei Zhonghe, get out of the way.” It's a map of Zhuxia.
"I sleep on this blanket every day. This is a reminder of my unfinished business."
The emperor pointed at the blanket and said with some pride.
The prince curiously pointed to a damp spot in the corner,
"Here..."
"Don't worry about this." The emperor's face turned red. , and immediately returned to the topic, "Let's first take a closer look at the charter.
I estimate that in another five years, the previous deficit can basically be made up, and the lives of the people of Yan and Jin can be restored to their original state. Even if they have no savings, they will not be stable for long;
But it is enough to cope with it. It's a foreign war. "
"The premise is that we can win. "Zheng Fan reminded.
Five years of accumulation are enough to start a war, but the frequency of wars is still too high. The newly established people's livelihood, which seems stable but is actually fragile, will soon be Because of the arrival of a new round of war, it has suffered extremely serious damage
But this does not mean that it cannot be fought,
Just like the many consecutive foreign wars during the late emperor's reign, they were basically fought in this way.
The early stage is difficult, but as long as you can win, the army can gain military glory, the court can gain territory, and gain profits through victory in the war, this cycle can still be supported.
It’s like climbing to the top, and then going downhill becomes smoother.
The biggest problem of Dayan is that during the Three Kingdoms War,
the food and grass at Nanmen Pass was cut off,
This means that Dayan's national power is so poor that it can no longer even push uphill.
"Yes, so it is not realistic to directly destroy any one of them in one go." The emperor looked at the prince, "So..."
The prince waved his hand in front of him,
Tao:
“You can cut half of it first.”
"Pa!"
The emperor reached out and patted the prince's hand,
said:
"Yes."
Zheng Fan knew clearly that the emperor The reason why such a grand strategic topic was suddenly brought up again was because the emperor had to modify it after learning about his physical condition.
Whether it is selfishness or greed for the reputation of Qingshi,
in short,
the emperor is not happy to simply be a conservative emperor and pave the way for the next generation.
Although when he was the prince, the emperor complained many times that his father had done too much and was too distrustful of his younger generations.
People,
Even the emperor
cannot do without a double standard.
"Which half should be cut off first?" the emperor asked.
“No one knows what the world will look like in five years’ time, but I am more inclined to attack Qian State first. Chu State has my old foundation to hold on;< br>
Moreover, Qianguo is also fat.
After gnawing down the three sides, taking over half of the northern half of the Qian Kingdom, and conquering the Qian Kingdom across the river to become Nangan, then it will be much easier to decide whether to further gnaw the remaining meat or attack the Chu Kingdom on this basis. . "
The emperor shook his head and said: "But I feel that the meat of the Qian Kingdom has always been very tender. If we can deal with half of the Chu Kingdom first, we can be more relaxed when we turn back.
Just like my father, pull out the hardest thorns first and leave the less difficult ones to your descendants. "
"Ji Laoliu. "
"Huh? ”
"It's your health that's wrong, not mine." Zheng Fan glanced at the emperor, "In five years' time, it's up to me to decide how to fight."
"Isn't this nonsense? You must be in charge.”
"So, there is no need to fight in this regard. Just save food and take care of the logistics."
"Can't you be more polite to the patients?"
"Is it necessary? ”
"No need."
"Isn't that right."
"But even if you show off, I will refuse again, so I feel better."
"Hypocritical." The prince said disdainfully.
“Hey, you crow has the nerve to call others evil.”
"Let's talk about other things. We can't decide now the general trend in five years."
"Well, in terms of people's livelihood, it will take three years to restore the basics, and another two years to select the best Replenish and rehabilitate the troops and horses used to prepare for the planned use of troops in five years.
In terms of logistics, auxiliary troops, and even combat troops, they are comparable to the level of the two rounds of the Yan-Chu War.”
Because during the Yan-Chu War, it was Ji Laoliu who organized the logistics operations. , so he is very clear about the actual cost. He dares to say this, which means he is confident that it can be done.
The emperor tugged on his belt,
Said:
"I will give you twice the treatment King Jingnan received when he fought in the national war. If you get it twice, Qianchu will not be able to defeat even half of it..."
The prince then said:
"That's why they are killed. Their lives should not be cut off."
"Damn it, couldn't it be because you, Zheng Fan, are useless?"
< br>
"Ha."
"When I go back, I will continue to expand the cabinet. It has been several years since my father started the imperial examination, and it has greatly filled the gap in the court after the horse stepped into the family. , after that, the subsequent emperors had no choice but to expel Gradually moving closer to the state of Qian, the emperor and officials rule the world together. "
This is actually paving the way for the prince. After the prince ascends the throne, he will of course face more constraints than his father and grandfather. , but the situation will be easier to appease and stabilize.
"We need to deal with the desert matter again. The current young King of Zhenbei is a little too cautious. Now the court still needs him to be a little tougher. At least, the dead ashes of the desert must be further dealt with. Suppress it so that the court can calmly deal with the next unification war."
"Yes." Zheng Fan nodded.
"If nothing unexpected happens, Xu Wenzu can still serve as the prefect of Yingdu for another two years. In the third year, I will transfer him back to the capital and transfer him to the cabinet.
It takes one year to survive. Let him sit at least as the second assistant within two years.
What do you think? "
Xu Wenzu himself has the qualifications and ability. The most important thing is that Xu Wenzu. The relationship with Zheng Fan is very good.
“You make up your mind.”
"This is not something I can't make up my mind about. You, surnamed Zheng, are not willing to die with me. I have to make arrangements for the worst case scenario. I leave first, but you are still alive and kicking."
< br>Zheng Fan shook his head,
said:
“It’s not necessary.
Whether you arrange it well or not, when you kick your legs off, no one can stop me from doing whatever I want to do. .”
Nowadays, the emperor of the Ji family can rely on his righteousness and his old foundation to suppress the Princes of Jindong and Pingxi without breaking out into face-breaking conflicts.
After all, Jindong’s territory is so large and its population is so large.
But the problem is, under the premise that the Zhenbei Army has declined and the Jingnan Army has long been flirting with the King of Pingxi, and considering the combat power of the Shanxi Iron Cavalry under the leadership of the Great Yan Army God, the most optimistic people , I am afraid that I can only have a 50-50 estimate of the imperial court.
And once the emperor dies and is replaced by a new young emperor...
The court can really just lie down.
"Zheng, can't you be gentler? Chuanye has called you my godfather for a year after all."
"This is not a matter of gentleness or gentleness, it is just stating a fact."
< br>"Okay, okay, okay, okay, you bastard, when my father pulled out the thorn, why didn't he pull it out on you? Instead, he left me the biggest thorn in Dayan."
"Hahahaha." The prince laughed loudly.
"But, Zheng Fan, to be honest, if one day I really feel that I am about to die, I will leave a message. You can go to Beijing to help Chuanye stabilize the situation and become the regent.
I can't worry about them being orphans and widowers. "
"That's too far. "
"Well, I said it here, but what about you, five years, how far can your Jindong develop in five years? "
"One hundred thousand cavalry can be mobilized at any time without affecting the garrison situation, and one hundred thousand auxiliary troops can be brought by oneself. ”
Paused,
Zheng Fan said again;
“We can be self-sufficient in food, grass, military supplies and logistics.”
The emperor began to settle accounts with his fingers,
said:
“Also In other words, if you choose to go to war with Chu in five years, you can pull out 200,000 soldiers? "
This calculation is because once it is decided to attack Chu first, then because a large number of savage servants will be mobilized, most of the garrison at Xuehaiguan can be mobilized. At the same time, the garrison at Zhennanguan, Fancheng, Fengxincheng and other places will all be mobilized. Draw it out and use your troops against Chu in all directions.
In short, as long as the front battle is won, the family has nothing to worry about. Therefore, there is no need to guard the family at all, and all the troops of Jindong are on the card table.
“It’s almost the same.” Zheng Fan nodded.
This is the prediction given by the blind man and Siniang. Zheng Fan believes in these two people.
Moreover, when it comes to fighting a national war and risking one's life, Jindong's system, which is similar to the Eight Banners system, can almost achieve a state where all the people are soldiers.
Two hundred thousand is the main army, but as for the auxiliary and servant soldiers, there can actually be more.
Of course, everything is on the line. If we fail to win, not only will Jindong's own ecology face collapse, but it may even lead to the erosion of the surrounding environment in this important area.
“You still know how to do it.” The emperor sighed with emotion.
The prince was noncommittal.
"If you calculate it this way, the troops and horses are enough."
The prince had no choice but to say:
"Dayan, there is never a shortage of soldiers and horses."
"I understand, I understand, I will try my best, I will try my best, don't worry, when the time comes, I will forget it Refining the oil from my body will also help you fight the battle of prosperity ahead."
"Actually, five years is enough to make us happy. We can look forward to some changes.
Over in Chu State, the Xie family stands out. They seem to be very well-behaved, but how long can they really be well-behaved?
We have not taken action and have been accumulating strength. There may also be problems within them.
The Chu country colleague is afraid that he will feel very uncomfortable and continues to kill the declining nobles. He is afraid that they will really jump over the wall in a desperate situation. If he doesn't kill them, he can only continue to drag them.
As for the Qian Kingdom, it is actually more worth looking forward to. You have destroyed his access to the capital, and the official’s prestige has been greatly reduced. Coupled with the Qian Kingdom’s century-old emphasis on culture and suppression of military affairs, these few days In the past year, under the external coercion of our country, Dayan, we have vigorously promoted the status of warriors, and it is easy for an imbalance to occur.
In comparison,
After the Three Kingdoms War ended,
the most united and united person inside was me, Dayan.
After surviving the most difficult level,
I realized that although the stall my father left for me was a little broken, it was really stable. "
"Hmm. ”
The beggar's chicken was ready,
Eunuch Wei personally helped to tear it open,
The emperor and the prince continued to chat for a long time while eating the chicken.
Then,
it seemed that all that needed to be said was finished,
Even the sun
had begun to set towards the west,
the two of them had been sitting in silence like this for more than half an hour.
The emperor suddenly overturned the wine glass in front of him and said
;
"My surname is Zheng. I have been explaining my funeral affairs for so long, but you actually admit it like this. Damn it, I'm still so young. I've only been emperor for two years. What a fucking loss for me in this life." !”
The emperor’s hidden emotions finally burst out.
This emotion first took shape when the blind man from the Prince's Palace in Fengxin City helped him inspect the dragon's body. The city wall of Xuehaiguan was opened, and then he traveled all the way and finally arrived here. When he was about to cross Wangjiang and return, it was completely ignited. .
The emperor is very sad that
he knows that
After he passed Wangjiang and was no longer in front of Zheng, he simply couldn't find another person to resolve his inner emotions.
Not even the queen.
The prince turned his head,
looking at the emperor whose face was red with anger;
"When my father was dying, I told him that I would not I will become an emperor like him. He is really ruthless. I can’t be ruthless, and I am not ruthless enough to myself.”
The prince said calmly:
“I said it can be cured.”
“Craniotomy? I also said that it is impossible for me to do this kind of treatment. Besides, 50% The probability of success is too low, really too low. "
"Then what?" the emperor asked.
"You refused." The prince replied.
"Why are you always being pretentious? When I want to be pretentious, you are not willing to cooperate with me!"
"Because I don't have the time." Zheng Fan said.
“No Kung Fu?” The emperor’s face was a little ferocious, “I’m about to leave, and you tell me that you have no Kung Fu? You heartless bitch!”
“Yes. ”
Zheng Fan nodded,
Then,
stood up,
it was not only his figure that stood up together, but also another breath.
Meanwhile,
Eunuch Wei in the distance and the Sword Master in the distance immediately raised their heads;
Fan Li and Xue Sanze, who were eating beggar's chicken there, immediately stared at this place and kept drinking silently as if they were not contaminated. A Ming, the dust of the world The wine in the wine glass was also shaken out at once;
After the prince stood up,
patted the python robe,
stretched carelessly again,
Let out a sigh:
You say I have no conscience?
Bitch,
I’m busy,
Isn’t it just for you?
At this moment,
King Pingxi entered the fourth rank! (End of this chapter)
