Finally, Xie Yixiu entered the palace and asked Xie Yixiu to report the process of the barbarian invasion and the affairs of the frontier. Xie Yixiu replied truthfully one by one. The emperor was also happy when he heard Xie Yixiu's praise of Ming Yu. She thought it was Xie Yi who was protecting the face of the old fourteen, and deliberately put the credit on Ming Yu.
But what kind of thunderbolt, is it really so magical? Where can you retreat from the enemy with a few crooked ways? The emperor didn't ask much, and praised Xie Yixiu, and even rewarded many emperor's gifts, which made Ming Yu envious.
"Father! The area around the Xiqi Corridor is a strategic place. Whether it is recuperation, garrisoning troops, or sending troops for business and trade, it is a treasure land. It can be advanced, attacked, retreated, or defended. Our Dayan has mastered this throat. He can't handle us anymore." Ming Yu explained his plan to the emperor.
He has perfected a lot these days, and the plan is roughly the same. Say it with confidence.
The emperor was not moved by his words, but just nodded to show that he understood.
Ming Yu was a little anxious, "Father, what my son said is true. General Xie has already sent people to investigate. This place can always lead to the Western Regions, and it is safer and more reliable to go to business."
The emperor gave him a sideways glance, "Why are you in a hurry? You thought it was a child's play, saying that you can win it if you win it? Even if you win it, what about the subsequent construction of the city and the garrison of the people, and the migration of the people?" After finishing speaking, he sighed: "The affairs of the court are not as easy as you imagine."
If the imperial court wants to decide something, it is not something the emperor can decide with a single word. Such a major national territorial matter should not be taken as a trifling matter. However, once it is discussed and decided by the DPRK and China, it will not be decided in a short while.
It is not uncommon for the court to fight for the interests of various parties, and it is not uncommon for a year or two to pass the buck and pass the buck.

95. Chapter 95
Although the emperor has his own subjective consciousness, he is still greatly restricted by the court system, and he cannot act willfully. Small things are harmless, and you can make your own decisions, but it is related to the interests of the family and the country, so it must be discussed by the court officials. Otherwise, if there is a foolish king, he can do whatever he wants, wouldn't the country have been tossed by the emperor long ago
At that time, the emperor had just been in power and was full of blood. He was very dissatisfied with the national policy of the former emperor and the barbarians. As soon as he was in power, he tried his best to reject the abolition and negotiate peace, but who knew the difficulty of this.
Prime Minister Wen, who was still Zhong Shuling at the time, also persuaded him to take it step by step and spend a few more years to transition slowly. But he is impatient, how many people's clothing and food can be covered by the yearly coins sent out to the Yi people every year, and the Yi people are not satisfied. Every year, there are still Yi bandits who commit crimes while fighting the autumn wind, which is worse than the white-eyed wolf.
However, this hurt the interests of the Yihe Party. At that time, there was a lot of opposition from the top and bottom of the court. Although he insisted on going his own way and used strong methods to suppress it, he killed three thousand enemies and lost eight hundred, and the vitality of the court was greatly injured. Years slowed down.
Since then, Dayan's tough attitude towards the barbarians has dissatisfied the barbarians, so the border wars have never stopped.
Everyone in the world knows that wars cost lives and money, but there is no way out. We can only firmly believe that one day the barbarians will be driven back to the western royal court.
Now that the emperor is getting older, he doesn't have the impulsiveness of a teenager, but more of a mentality of seeking stability and peace. Therefore, the emperor was very calm when he heard Ming Yu's thoughts, and it was impossible for him to agree without considering the consequences.
"Besides, there have been years of wars and natural and man-made disasters. The treasury has been unbalanced in recent years, and it has been even more difficult to make ends meet in the past two years. If Mao rashly proposes to expand and build the Xiqi Corridor, there will be a lot of extra expenses. There must be a lot of resistance." The emperor sighed. He couldn't bear to disappoint his younger son, so he explained it specially.
Ming Yu naturally knows this, but as long as his father is willing and able to support him, he can handle the rest by himself.
Ming Yu leaned forward with a grin, "I know, as long as the father agrees to stand on the same line with my son, I will have a way to make this matter less resistant."
The emperor looked at him suspiciously, Ming Yu didn't look serious, and said indifferently: "Isn't it just money, as long as this is resolved, who would object."
The emperor couldn't help laughing, this kid said it lightly, it would be great if he could solve it so easily, so a silly boy is a silly boy, and if he said such words, he would not be afraid of being laughed out of his teeth.
Ming Yu made up his mind, and begged the emperor to agree with him. The emperor was helpless, but he was sure that this matter would not be easy. Even if he agreed, what could this foolish boy do
Xie Yixiu was also very strange, he looked sideways frequently, and he seemed very sure of Duan Wang's appearance. It's just that this is not a small sum, where does he have the confidence to say such a thing? And I have never heard him reveal his thoughts before.
The emperor put Ming Yu aside first, then asked Xie Yixiu some matters, and generally understood everything thoroughly, Xie Yixiu then asked to resign from the palace, and the emperor waved his hand in response.
Before Xie Yixiu left, Ming Yu whispered a few words, telling him to follow the plan and go out of the palace to find him when he is free.
Xie Yixiu nodded and left tacitly, the emperor saw the small actions of the two of them, and when Xie Yixiu left, he said with a half-smile: "Shisi and General Xie are also very close."
If it were someone else, just this sentence would scare people half to death. A prince and a general who got close to a foreign minister could be punished for the serious crime of colluding with a foreign minister.
However, Ming Yu waved his hand indifferently, did not hide his praise, and said with a smile: "Yes! General Xie is quite a good person. A person who has even been praised by his father is naturally good. Except for showing off Putting on a cold face and being unreasonable, everything else is okay. After all, he is also Erchen’s savior. Erchen is still thinking about it, to see if there is a girl from a family who can be destined for him, can he Match him up."
This silly boy, I'm afraid he doesn't even know what the internal and external officials are? Where would you know the twists and turns of the imperial court. This kid is pure in heart, only because Xie Yixiu saved him, he will treat him like a friend sincerely.
Now that the child has grown up, he knows good and bad, and he will have his own circle of friends. As a father, he may be left behind. Thinking of this, the emperor's heart became sour.
"Nonsense! You are a general, how can you let yourself be fooled by major events in life?" The emperor scolded with a tight face. My stupid son always acted carelessly and never considered the consequences. If he messed up, wouldn't he have to show the people in Beijing a joke
Ming Yu was not afraid of the emperor's scolding, but walked over and held the emperor's shoulders, serving the emperor so comfortably.
"What's the point? The men's college should get married, and the female college should get married. I'm also thinking of General Xie. Besides, I didn't force him. He has to let him choose the one he likes, right?" Ming Yu originally thought of finding a way to grant a marriage from the emperor, but it was still inappropriate after much deliberation.
Now it's all blind marriages and dumb marriages, which will never happen. He has to choose the one he likes and love freely, otherwise the twisted melon wouldn't be sweet, would it? He simply dismissed this idea, and simply arranged a garden party, blind date banquet or something, which sounds nice to say.
Ming Yu's thoughts made the emperor very helpless, "It's okay, it's okay, just be careful and don't cause trouble." The emperor urged.
Ming Yu agreed with all his mouth, but he was thinking about what he should do for this garden party. He was not familiar with the daughters and ladies in Beijing. He used to be in the palace, and he didn't hear anything outside the window. The last face is familiar. Later, when I went to the frontier, I didn't understand the situation in the capital even after so long.
Before finding any clues, the emperor said: "Speaking of which, you are not too young, and it's time for me to point you to a marriage."
Ming Yu is the youngest among all the brothers, several of his elder brothers are already married, the remaining ones are not married, and there are some side concubines, only Ming Yu is a widow and has no family.
It was only because of Ming Yu's special situation that he was a fool who didn't say anything and didn't know anything since he was a child. Afterwards, when his condition got better, his temper was erratic and he often caused troubles, so everyone in the palace kept him at a respectful distance. In addition, he didn't have a concubine to take care of these things, so he just delayed it.
When he was an adult, but because he caused trouble everywhere, the emperor was one head and two elders, and before he could choose a concubine for him, he was sent away far away. It has become the current situation. Thinking of this, the emperor still feels a little guilty towards Ming Yu.
Ming Yu was shocked, woke up, and quickly refused: "No, father, marriage or something, I haven't thought about it yet, so don't mention it now."
"Why?" The emperor was surprised by Ming Yu's reaction, and when the other sons heard about the proposed marriage, they all happily knelt down and thanked En Dian. Either he, his father, decides, or he chooses a helpful relative, no matter what, it is a happy event, but why does it come to Ming Yu like a hot potato, eager to get rid of it
Ming Yu's eyes rolled and his heart turned like lightning, he didn't want his parents to arrange a marriage
