Debt? He just said, what good can the old fourteen do if he opens his mouth? Don't you want him, a father, to give money? However, his nonsense and obsession made the emperor's anger calm down a lot.
Ming Ye observed the words and expressions, saw the dark clouds on the emperor's face dissipated, there was a little smile, and he felt relieved, and said with a smile: "Father, I don't know what the fourteenth brother said?" In the whole palace, there is probably only Ming Yu It can easily change the emperor's temper. Now that he is missing, the palace is much cooler. It is not as frivolous as before, and it makes people feel a little uncomfortable.
"What else can I say? Why don't you complain about suffering and poverty in front of me, alas! Children are debts, this saying is true in ancient and modern times." Although the emperor complained, he was faintly happy. No matter how old his son is, he still needs him. Father.
Ming Ye didn't point it out. What the Emperor dislikes the most is someone who can speculate on the Sacred Heart. Thunder, rain and dew are all the favor of the king, including him, the crown prince, who dare not reveal it. When the thunder breaks out, it will not be worth the loss. Speaking of which, Ming Yu was the only one in the palace who wasn't afraid of this kind of thing. Anyway, under the influence of gags and nonsense, even the emperor with an unfathomable sacred heart would fall into his way.
Ming Ye followed closely the emperor's words, and said with a smile: "Although the fourteenth brother has lost his tune, he still thinks of you, father. Last time he specially sent someone to Beijing to give father the piece of crystal glass. What mirror?" coming?"
He thought hard, but couldn't think of it, and the emperor reminded: "It's glasses, also called 叆叇."
Ming Ye, who was reminded, said happily: "That's exactly what it's called. Father uses it well. Didn't he also praise Fourteenth Brother for his heart?"
The thing that Ming Yu specially sent to Beijing last time is really easy to use. You only need to wear it every time you approve the memorial. It is really clear and refreshing to see things, and your eyes are not so tired. It is also difficult for this son to be able to think about him all the time, but the precious crystal glaze bestowed by Lao Tzu, there are not many in the entire Great Yan Dynasty, so he squandered it like this, it is really heartbreaking. Lao Jiu had tortured him for so long and he was not willing to give it to Lao Jiu, and now Lao Jiu often complains in front of him that he is partial.
The emperor was proud in his heart, but he didn't show it on the surface, "Hmph! The old fourteen spends his days away from business, but he really cares about these strange tricks."
Ming Ye lowered his head and didn't dare to answer. The emperor looked at the self-restraining and respectful prince, sighed in his heart, and calmed down, "I don't really blame him, you, but you are too cautious."
Ming Ye quickly knelt down tremblingly and pleaded guilty, "Father, please forgive me."
The emperor was helpless, and he didn't say anything. Why! If it was Old Fourteen, he would definitely climb up the pole when he said that, and even scolding him could be regarded as a good word.
He looked at the prince who was kneeling on the ground, "Get up! Our father and son are just gossiping, what's the point of talking on your knees?"
"Yes! Father." Ming Ye stood up with a look of shame on his face.
The prince is his first child with the Empress Yuan. He and the empress Yuan have a very strong relationship. He still remembers how excited he was when the prince was born. In order to choose the name, he spent several days without closing his eyes, using almost all the words with good meanings. In the end, Empress Yuan personally chose a word Ye, which represented the meaning of bright and bright. They all hope that this child will be brilliant all his life, and it is their sustenance.
The child who was held in the palm of the hand at the beginning has grown up, warm and moist as jade, shining brightly, but his temperament is a little more cautious and docile. As the heir of a big country, he still lacks courage. That's all, there is still more time now, take your time!
Seeing him like this, the emperor softened his tone, "There are no monarchs and ministers here today, only father and son, let's talk about family gossip. Like your fourteenth brother, who makes trouble for me all day long, can I really ignore him? They are father and son, blood is thicker than water, who said that there is no father and son in the Tian family? If there is no family affection, the old fourteen lost his head countless times."
"Yes! My son understands." Ming Ye said moved.
But it was only a momentary touch. He was in this position where one person was under one person and above ten thousand people, and he knew very well in his heart that he was facing a precipice, and even if he was not careful, he would fall to pieces. Perhaps only the fourteenth brother has the temperament to enjoy the so-called family affection of the Tian family.
"Father is benevolent, I think the fourteenth brother also knows this. Although he is self-willed and reckless, he also knows that it is father's tolerance and love, that's why he runs to father's side to hide every time he breaks the pot .”
"That's true." Thinking of Ming Yu's troubles in those years, the emperor couldn't help laughing. He still remembered that Concubine Hui's small warehouse was set on fire by Ming Yu. behind him! He is angry and funny, but what can I do to see his pitiful appearance? Of course, his son had to be protected by himself.
Thinking of these past events, the emperor's eyes became more kind, but when he thought of Ming Yu's letter, he was so angry that he couldn't worry, "Speaking of the old fourteenth, I was so angry that I wrote a letter saying I will eradicate the thieves. These thieves are cruel and cunning, what is it for him to take this matter on himself? Isn't he afraid that he will be in danger?"
"The fourteenth brother thought it was a good intention. He wanted to share your worries with your father. Although he likes to make troubles, he has his own sense of propriety." Ming Ye comforted.
"Property? How can he have a sense of proportion? If he is half as easy as you, I will be at ease." The emperor frowned. "The only people he can use are five hundred guards. The last letter said that two hundred guards were sent out to escort the caravan. What can the remaining three hundred people do?"
"Isn't there still a garrison in the frontier? No matter how bad it is, there will be a red-robed army."
"The red-robed army must guard against the enemy's invasion, and the troops stationed in the frontiers are good and bad. If you count on them, you can't count on them. If they are really useful, will you let the bandits run rampant? I am starting to worry about the old fourteen. He just needs to decide Even if the nine-headed horses cannot be pulled back, he has made a decision to deal with the thieves. But how can the thieves be so easy to deal with?" The emperor was worried, full of helplessness.
"Father, what should I do?" I heard my father say so. Ming Ye also began to worry.
"We can only hurry up and make an order that Wei Wuji and Xie Yi must take care of him."
"Yes! My son is drafting the decree."
"By the way, next time you send someone to deliver something there, by the way, bring a pair of crystal glass to the old fourteen." After thinking about it, the emperor still ordered, his silly son, if he really drinks the northwest wind, What was lost was not his face as a father. Hey! I heard that the silly son has lost a lot of weight after going to the border area, so he must be hungry, right? Thinking about it made my heart ache again.
Ming Ye obediently agreed.
Ming Yu didn't know that he was just crying about being poor, and asking the emperor's father for money, which caused the emperor to lose another pair of crystal glazes.
Although his hands are a little tight now, it is not really difficult to live. Last time, among the goods sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, there was a bank note that the emperor secretly compensated him, which was taken out of his private treasury by the emperor himself.
And the crown prince also subsidized him somewhat, so that he would not be stretched. However, Ming Yu insisted that a crying child would have candy, so he didn't mind at all what's wrong with complaining about being poor? As for money, the more the better, isn't it
After all, he is really short of money now, let's see which of his items don't cost money? Watching the money rushing out like running water, but not returning at all, how could he not make him anxious
As for the caravan, we can't see any effect yet, so we can only wait slowly.
"General Xie, what do you think of the terrain here?" Ming Yu asked, pointing to a spot on the sand table in front of him.
Xie Yixiu stared at Ming Yu's finger and shook his head, "Although the terrain here is dangerous, it's not easy to keep the enemy behind. If the bandits break through to the death and rush through here, I'm afraid it will be a failure."
Ming Yu looked at his words, thought for a while, and felt that it was reasonable, and couldn't help frowning and asked: "Then can we strengthen this place, send more soldiers to ambush there, and set up more traps? "
Xie Yixiu still shook his head, "After all, there are still flaws. I think it is better to choose this place than to choose this place with dangerous terrain."
Ming Yu looked over, there was nothing special about the place he was pointing at? This is a land of river valleys, without any passes and dangers, setting up an ambush in this place? Is this... is this possible
Ming Yu looked over suspiciously, is this person really joking? As we all know, setting up an ambush generally depends on the terrain, or a gourd mouth, or a narrow road, or a cliff. It is impossible to guard against, and it is difficult to hide from it. It can only be slaughtered like a lamb with its cubs.
There are no cliffs here, no deep forests, and it is not easy to find a dangerous place like the mouth of a valley.
That's right, Ming Yu wanted to set up an ambush from the very beginning, lead people into the encirclement, and then catch them all in one go. Therefore, when I met Xie Yixiu when I was in the magistrate Liu's mansion, I was born with the desire to take the school exam. Together, I simply wrote out my own ideas, and then showed them together to see who's method is better. I didn't expect them to write in their hands. But it is the same word 'Fu', this is simply a tacit understanding, the hero sees the same thing!
Ming Yu didn't understand why Xie Yixiu didn't use a dangerous place to set up an ambush, but chose an ordinary river valley to set up an ambush, but this place is just a depression, flat without any cover
