In the 135th year of the Southern Qi Dynasty, the emperor was weak, the two generations of the Xu family were the queens, the relatives were the big ones, and the royal family was weak.
The queen's lack of talent and jealousy caused the royal heirs to be reluctant.
When the emperor was unable to cope with his relatives, the Northern Zhou Dynasty took the opportunity to raise troops, with millions of soldiers and horses, coming fiercely, and the frontiers of the Southern Qi Dynasty were in a hurry.
For hundreds of years since the Southern Qi dynasty was established, the emperors of all dynasties advocated governing the country with literature, persuading people with virtue, and valued literature over military affairs. The only general's mansion, because of the death of King Rong An and his concubine twelve years ago, General Su resigned and moved his family out of the capital. Therefore, facing the rise of troops in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty in the Southern Qi Dynasty could not choose anyone who could fight.
Even though the emperor was angry, he had no choice but to turn gray hair for a while.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the head of the state recommended his grandson Xu Yunchu to lead the army to fight, but was opposed by half of the ministers in the court, mainly the royal family. The Xu family had two queens, and now they are powerful. If the Xu family were to gain military power, even if the Northern Qi was defeated, it would be difficult for the Xu family not to take over the Southern Qi.
What's more, Xu Yun was only a weak champion in his early years. Although he is talented throughout the capital and is known as the number one son of the capital, but he has never even been to a military camp, how can he lead soldiers? Can fight
After the Queen Mother and Queen heard about it, they were not happy either.
There is only such a talented and outstanding descendant of the Xu family, and his natal family is their pillar in the harem, how can they let him go to the border to die? The so-called sword has no eyes, if he does not come back and dies in battle, then who will support the Xu family's family
When the people were arguing, the prime minister spoke out and recommended Ye Chang, the eldest son of Rong An's palace.
Prince Rong An's Mansion is a branch of the royal family and belongs to the clan. King Rong An and his concubine are both good at strategizing. Although they defeated Bei Zhou in the battle with Bei Zhou 12 years ago, they both died in the battle together. At that time, there was only one young child left, which was Ye Chang.
Princess Rong An's natal family is the Ye family, a well-known family in the south of the Yangtze River. When King Rong An proposed marriage, the head of the Ye family said that the daughter of the Ye family would not marry the capital. . Therefore, although Ye Chang is a descendant of the clan, his surname is not Liu, but Ye.
The emperor was grateful for King Rong'an and his concubine's sacrifice for the country. After conferring on them, he granted the palace of Prince Rong'an as hereditary palace.
This year, Ye Chang is even worse than the weak crown.
The prime minister recommended Ye Chang, the only eldest son of the Rong'an Palace, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty strongly opposed it.
If Xu Yunchu is the number one son in the capital, then Ye Chang is the number one dude in the capital.
In the huge Rong'an Palace, Ye Chang is in charge of the house and has the final say. In addition, the emperor loves him, the queen mother pity him, he lost his father and mother since childhood, and there is no one to control him. He spends all day drinking and composing poems, and lingering in the romantic and gentle place. Playing with a bunch of dandies all day long is absurd.
Naturally, such Ye Chang could not lead troops to fight.
Not to mention the objection of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, even the emperor shook his head after hearing the prime minister's recommendation.
But the prime minister said that twelve years ago, King Rong An and his concubine defeated the Northern Zhou Dynasty and gained a great reputation. The so-called tiger father has no dogs. Although Ye Shizi has never been in tune, he has the blood of King Rong An who is brave and good at fighting. If Bei Zhou heard that Ye Shizi led troops, he would always weigh it carefully. In addition, although Ye Shizi takes his mother's surname, his blood is a member of the royal family. Letting him lead the army shows that our Southern Qi emperor's prestige cannot be trampled on.
After the courtiers heard about it, some people thought it was reasonable, but some people were still worried.
Having said that, but can Ye Chang really lead soldiers? Can fight
In order to dispel public opinion, the prime minister recommended Su Che, General Su, to accompany Ye Chang to the border.
After hearing Su Che's name, all the ministers' eyes lit up, but soon dimmed again.
Su Che is a rare military prodigy in the Southern Qi Dynasty. Even the emperor who advocated the civilized world gave him favor. He was named a general when he was young, and he was given a general's mansion. Although the status of a general in the Southern Qi Dynasty is low, his His status in the civil and military circles of the Manchu Dynasty was not low at all, and no one dared to look down on him.
But because of the death of King Rong An and the princess during the battle with Northern Qi twelve years ago, he regretted that it was his own mistake in using troops that killed the prince and concubine. Although both the emperor and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty believed that he was not at fault, but that the Northern Zhou thieves used vicious schemes, he still couldn't get over the pain in his heart and resigned.
At that time, the emperor tried his best to persuade Su Che to stay, but Su Che had decided to go, the emperor had no choice but to agree.
Now that twelve years have passed, can Su Che return to Beijing to take up a post and go to the border to defend against the enemy
The civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty were uncertain, and for a while, there were no voices of opposition.
The prime minister also said that back then, Su Che left Beijing out of guilt for the death of King Rong An and his concubine, but now if the prince of Rong An's mansion leads troops, how can Su Che refuse
After hearing this, all the ministers nodded their heads in unison, saying that it made sense, although Ye Chang was out of tune, if Su Che was there, Bei Zhou would definitely be defeated.
The emperor saw that all the ministers had a rare unanimous opinion, except for Ye Chang and Su Che, he was afraid that the menacing Northern Zhou would be no match for him, so he nodded, accepted the prime minister's recommendation, and sent someone to announce Ye Chang into the palace.
The father-in-law who delivered the decree rushed to the Rong'an Palace, but Ye Chang was not there, so he was in vain. After asking, he learned that Ye Chang had gone to the Hongfen Building, and hurried to the Hongfen Building, and found Ye Chang in the red sleeve incense powder all over the building. skirts.
At that time, Ye Chang was drunk, sleeping soundly with a big white cat in his arms.
The father-in-law who delivered the decree couldn't wake up the Lord, so he ordered someone to carry him into the palace to meet the emperor. The emperor was annoyed at Ye Chang's appearance, and ordered someone to call him, but he couldn't wake up. It was massage again, all methods were exhausted, but he was still sleeping soundly. The imperial doctor was invited, and after a look, he found out that he had been drunk for three months.
Drunk in March, as the name suggests, after drinking a glass, you will feel like you are in the air, and you will be drunk in March.
There is no cure.
By the time he wakes up in three months, the Northern Zhou may have already set foot on the border and the mountains and rivers of Southern Qi, and the day lily will be cold.
The emperor was angry, but he couldn't help it. Ye Chang had always been absurd, and this kind of thing didn't happen once or twice. He could only urgently invite the prime minister to the palace to discuss. The prime minister saw Ye Chang's sound asleep, shook his head and sighed, and after thinking about it, he asked the emperor for orders, carried Ye Chang, and went to invite Su Che to fight.
The emperor is ready to play.
Therefore, the prime minister ordered someone to carry Ye Chang, and set off overnight to the place where Su Che lived.
Three days later, they arrived at the place where Su Che lived.
The Prime Minister met Su Che and explained the reason. Su Che saw Ye Chang who was drunk and was unconscious. After a long silence, he nodded and agreed to lead the troops to fight, but the condition was that Ye Chang would not have to follow. Repeat the mistakes of his parents who died in the frontier.
The prime minister readily agreed, as long as Su Che went to the battle, it would not matter whether Ye Chang went to the border or not. He carried Ye Chang out and went through all kinds of troubles, just to please Su Che.
With Su Che sending troops, then the Southern Qi will definitely be preserved.
So, the prime minister returned to the capital with Ye Chang, who was drunk and unconscious, and Su Che took the tiger talisman seal and led the troops to the border.
Two months later, news came back from the frontier that General Su had defeated Bei Zhou.
The ruling and opposition parties rejoiced.
The Emperor Longyan was very happy, and sent someone to take Su Che's family back to Beijing. Words: After General Su left, the General's mansion has been kept, and people are often cleaned. Now that the General's officer has returned to his post, his family members can no longer be allowed to stay in the countryside.
So, half a month later, the family members of the Su Mansion were taken into Beijing and re-lived in the Su Mansion.
Su Che has three sons and one daughter, all of them went to the border with him, only his wife was taken into Beijing. The emperor personally summoned Mrs. Su, and learned that his youngest daughter, Su Fengnuan, was in her early 20s and never married. So the plan of giving a marriage was raised.
After the queen mother learned of the emperor's plan, she was quite interested and agreed with it very much.
The two coincided with each other.
Thus, news began to spread in Beijing that the emperor and the queen mother were going to choose one of the princes in the capital to marry Su Fengnuan.
Everyone guessed who would be the final candidate, and there was an uproar for a while.
