Chapter 1015: It’s easy to fool him
After the Shan brothers took their seats, they did not start discussing matters immediately.
In fact, they waited for a while, and another Yang family brother arrived.
Yang Gu was a minister of Huangmen, but he was famous for his calligraphy, especially cursive and running script.
Yang Wei, the servant, doesn't know what he can do.
In terms of seniority within the Taiyang family, Yanggu is one generation higher than him, and he is of the same generation as Yangman, Yangdan, and Yang Xianrong.
Yang Wei's father, Yang Ji, once served as the general who protected the Xiongnu in the Jin Dynasty. He also had an elder brother named Yang Jian, who was an official in Puppet Liang and served as the governor of Jizhou.
Sounds like it's in line with the North, right? What about the Shan brothers?
Let alone the fact that the Crown Princess Shan is the niece of Yang Man and Yang Dan, Shan Wei's second brother Shan Shi returned to serve as the commander of the Puppet Liang Zuo Xiaoqi Guards. How can this be said?
If you really hold on to this, no one will be able to use you. Which Nandu scholar has no relatives in the north?
If that doesn't work, arrest Director Wang first.
By the way, Liu Wei and Bian Yi also need to be arrested. There are too many people to arrest.
Jinshang and Shao Xun are from the same sect. One is from the Sima Yue clan and the other is a general of his family. They each have gathered part of Sima Yue's power. Can they really tell the difference?
It's so annoying!
"Dao'an, why are you so late?" Shan Wei smiled and said hello to Yang Gu.
"It's unlucky to say the least." Yang Gu sighed: "Today I changed into casual clothes and went to the street. I met a man who insisted on selling Talisman water forcibly. I came back late."
"The Taoist is getting more and more outrageous." Shan Wei said: "It is better for the monks to advise the world to get rid of the evil, refresh the mind, and accumulate merit. In this way, evil can be turned into good, and the world will not be so bad. So angry.”
"You can't say that." Yang Wei smiled and said: "Emperor Xuan is a ghost official."
As soon as this statement came out, all five people present laughed.
"What are you talking about?" Sima Pei walked in from outside and asked.
"I'm talking about the prime minister coming from a Taoist family." Shan Ya glanced at the crowd and said.
The other people just smiled and said nothing.
"Not just the Wang family of Langya?" Sima Su sat down and said, "They are all the Xie family, the Sun family, and the Yin family. The big families in Wu, such as Ge, Tao, Shen, Kong, etc., are all the same. He is my youngest brother. There are Taoist priests all around.”
Of course, he forgot to mention the Sima family. Their family is the real believer.
"Let's talk about business." Sima Pei rubbed his brows and said: "Yesterday, when I accompanied the driver on a patrol, His Majesty mentioned the Northern Expedition and Zhongxing. His words were so urgent that I had no choice but to agree. The Shao thieves entered Guanzhong in March and attacked in April. The outcome of Liangzhou is still uncertain. The ministers in the court believe that Liangzhou is difficult to attack due to its high mountains and long distances. However, if the move is delayed for a long time, Liangzhou may be disadvantageous."
"Also, Tao Kan from Jingzhou came to report that a delegation from Liangzhou arrived in Jiangling via Shuzhong. They are on their way to Jianye. Such loyalty must be supported and must not be disheartening."
After speaking, he looked at everyone.
"I wonder if Your Highness has ever talked with the East Palace officials?" Shan Ya asked, cupping his hands.
"We talked until midnight yesterday," Sima Pei said, "Today I want to ask you what you think."
"What did the officials in the East Palace say?" Shan Ya asked.
Sima Pei pondered for a moment and whispered: "Just wait for change."
Shanya was a little happy and a little sad when he heard this.
The people in the East Palace may have average other abilities, but they have a way of figuring out people's hearts. They must be able to see that what the emperor said about the "Northern Expedition", "support", and "cannot make people feel cold" are all irony, because this court has never From the beginning, he did not have the ability to carry out a large-scale Northern Expedition, nor did he support others, which has always been chilling.
Putting aside the distant discussion, what happened that time before I ascended the throne? Jianye had amassed a total of 20,000 troops over the years, and they were all dragged out, saying they were going to launch the Northern Expedition, but didn't they all die out in the end?
The court couldn't help but kill Chunyu Bo, but anyone with a discerning eye could see what was going on.
The Northern Expedition was abandoned halfway. Could little Chun Yubo be able to shoulder this responsibility?
Therefore, now everyone knows that the Northern Expedition is just a joke, just a lip service. If you take it seriously, you are a fool and will be ridiculed.
"It's better to wait and see." Shan Wei praised: "Your Highness can go to Jiangbei for a tour. Every time you go to a place, stay for a while. It can be as short as a month or as long as a few months. It won't take long. There is news coming back from the north.”
"What Yan Zu said is true." Yang Gu shook his head and said: "The Northern Expedition has no soldiers and no food. What can we do? This matter must not be touched. It will be okay if we win, but everything will stop if we lose."
"What Dao'an said is absolutely true. Liu Kun is stationed in Huaiyin, Su Jun is stationed in Guangling, Zhuge Hui is stationed at Jingkou, and Zu Yue is guarding Shouchun. Who can move these four troops? I'm afraid even one of them can't be used. They just go into battle reluctantly. , and will not try his best, the emperor may still blame him.”
"It's hard for others to tell. There is no way that the Jingkou gang can be manipulated. Zhuge Hui has a close relationship with the Shi family, so it is difficult for him to obey His Highness."
"Jiangbei Fengyue is not bad, it doesn't hurt to take a walk."
Several people spoke to each other and quickly analyzed the reasons clearly and clearly.
I have to say that although these people seemed unreliable, what they said was not outrageous. On the contrary, they felt like they were eating up the mentality of Sima Rui, Director Wang and the Nandu scholars. Perhaps, they themselves were Nandu scholars and served as officials in the court. They were exposed to first-hand information every day, and it was not difficult to guess other people's thoughts when they judged others by themselves.
Sima Pei's face looked much better after hearing what they said.
In fact, the East Palace staff also said so, but he tossed and turned last night and was still a little worried. Today I heard the Shan family and Yang family's in-laws say the same thing, and I felt completely relieved.
"Speaking of which, Thief Shao is quite capable." Sima Pei said with emotion: "A forty-year-old man, how many more years do he have to live? If I lived in Luoyang and held the power of the north, I would have already ruled the country. ”
"At this age, it's time to consider how to pass on the throne." Shan Wei echoed: "If he dies suddenly and has not arranged his funeral, wouldn't the world be in chaos?"
Scholars from Nandu really talk about the word "violent death" because too many people died in this way. Often they don't know the cause of death in the end. They can only attribute it to gods and ghosts, because you can't explain it at all. , young and strong people died suddenly and without any warning.
Mrs. Shan came in with several palace attendants, bringing tea and snacks. The tea was very ordinary, and I don’t know which county paid tribute.
Desserts include candied dried fruits and the like. It is said that the princess made them herself, which was also a labor of love.
Everyone stood up one after another and thanked him repeatedly.
After Shan set down the tea and snacks, he waved the palace attendants to leave, and then sat aside, quietly arranging the bookshelf.
Everyone didn't take it seriously and had long been used to it.
Shan Ya only glanced at Congmei, then cleared his throat and said: "Your Highness, may I ask for the documents to mobilize troops? There are 20,000 forbidden troops. If we can mobilize thousands or even ten thousand people, it will be much safer when we go north."
Shan's hand paused slightly.
"Thousands of people are enough." Sima Pei relaxed and said with a smile: "Shao Thief is far away in Liangzhou, and the north is empty. It doesn't matter."
Yang Wei twirled his beard and said with a smile: "It would be better to have more. Just to scare the thief Shao, you can't really go swimming in the water."
Mr. Shan put down a pile of manuscripts.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
There are a few drops of candle tears on the corner of the first page of the manuscript, but the handwriting is beautiful and gorgeous, without a trace of scrawling. It is obviously written by Shan.
"Husband, you must not underestimate the enemy." Shan suddenly raised his head and said, "Shao Taibai is a scholar, and even today, he must be outstanding. I heard that many people in Jianye laughed at him because of his birth. This should not be the case."
"My husband is going north, even if he lacks troops and food and is unable to do the Northern Expedition, he should not waste time in vain. I heard that there are many young people from Yuyan and even Hebei in the north of the Yangtze River. Some of them have been farming for no less than ten years, and some of them have been farming for several to twenty years. The imperial court But he was not allowed to live nearby Yangzhou. There are so many difficulties that it is difficult to describe them. My husband might as well go to the imperial court and ask for Qiaojun and Qiaoxian to be attached to it. If so, the people will be happy and all will be grateful to you. Isn't that a good thing?" >
Why not let the refugees cross the river? Why not set up Qiao County and Qiao County? The reasons are complex.
The establishment of Qiao County and Qiao County to resettle the refugees requires land.
Most of the Nandu scholars were proud of their original county title and hometown status. For example, the Jiyang Jiang family was a famous family in the north. After the Jiang family's children migrated to the south, they often called themselves "Jiyang Jiang family" or "Chenliu Jiang family" to the outside world. You are his After they settled in Jiyang County, they had a home, which made it much more convenient for them to be officials or anything else.
This is a favor, and there are many benefits when you get it.
Sima Pei seemed to have some enlightenment after hearing this.
When Mrs. Shan saw that her husband understood, she stopped overstepping her duties and went out with the dinner plate, leaving space for the men.
The sun is getting higher outside.
The weather in May is a bit hot, but the palace people are still working in the vegetable fields.
Mr. Shan took a look and said, "Let's all go and have a rest. Come back in the evening."
The people in the palace bowed and left one after another as if they had been granted amnesty.
The breeze blew, fluttering Shan's hair and skirt.
She looked carefully at the vegetable patches and fruit trees inside and outside the yard, with a slight smile on her lips and an unparalleled sense of satisfaction in her heart.
She walked over gently.
There were some petals scattered on the ground. She gently picked up a few petals, put them in the palm of her hand, and looked at them quietly for a long time, as if she could draw strength and beauty from the fallen red flowers.
"Your Highness, the smell of meat is very strong. I won't leave today, so I must have a good meal."
"I heard that His Highness received dozens of wild rice. Summer is coming, and even gods would not change the wild rice and wild rice."
There was chatter and laughter outside the foyer.
Mr. Shan scattered the fallen flowers in his palm on the roots of the tree, then turned around and walked calmly outside the kitchen to check how lunch was being prepared.
At the end, he added: "Give some wine and meat to the door guards and guards, and allow them to take them home."
After giving instructions, he returned to the bedroom.
The furnishings in the room were ordinary, and there was nothing luxurious about them. Only some gold and silverware and brocade were placed on the two couches.
Shan looked at it carefully.
The prince is going to Ma's house to meet his biological mother tomorrow. Although the expenses of the East Palace are not abundant, this matter cannot be taken lightly and must be fully prepared.
She picked them all, put aside the gifts she was going to give, and then ordered the palace people to take them away and put them away.
After doing all this, she came to the window and opened it.
Seeing that no one was paying attention, he stretched out comfortably, revealing the proud figure of the 24-year-old young woman.
Soon, as if he had done something extraordinary, Mr. Shan blushed, sat down, picked up a copied official letter on the desk and read it carefully.
"Since the spring, there have been continuous rains, which have soaked the roads. The disaster has come to this point, and Li Yuan is in deep trouble. The ministers and ancestors cried and sang, please send money and food..."
Mr. Shan read it once and again.
Master Zu seems to have asked for money and food several times. Are the floods in Huainan really that serious? What does the court think?
