The days in the palace always passed very quickly, maybe it was too leisurely to notice the passage of time.
Fast forward to mid-July, and the tail of the scorching heat is almost over. After another ten days and a half a month, it's time to return to the palace.
The concubines feel that the palace is very boring, especially there are many women waiting to compete for the favor, it's not like a palace or a paradise. It's a pity that the sky didn't come true. On the day of the sixteenth, a battle report suddenly came from the west.
Siron invaded.
Expedited at eight hundred miles, the soldier who delivered the letter ran all the way up to the palace, shouting "urgent at the border" at the top of his voice, waking up everyone who had just fallen asleep.
Concubines and concubines did not dare to inquire about important matters in the previous dynasty, so they could only huddle in their rooms and wait for the emperor's next order.
In Qin's living room, Shen Yuqing was originally admiring the moon with Fu Qiushui. The fifteenth and sixteenth of every month are full moons. Although it is not comparable to the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is still worth seeing. In fact, the main reason is that the two people are struggling with whether Shen Yuqing can continue to share the bed with Fu Qiushui. Concubine Shen thinks it's okay, but Empress Fu thinks it's not.
On the eighth day of the eighth day, it was originally a joke of the empress, but because the empress "accidentally" broke into the bathroom of the empress this evening, it was turned out again.
Empress Fu, who was furious and angry, thought that Concubine Shen Guifei was making progress, and she had to teach her a lesson, otherwise she would be even more difficult to discipline in the future.
Both husband training and wife training are very necessary, especially when the other half is very skinny.
The queen wanted to teach the noble concubine a lesson and make her obedient. It's a pity that the thick-skinned imperial concubine is best at making jokes, turning black and white, and insisting that she is extremely innocent, holding the queen's little hand and refusing to leave.
In the end, there was no other way, the queen simply ignored her with a cold face. But what can you look at without looking at her? It's getting late, I can only look at the moon.
Shen Guifei hit the snake with a stick and made an inch of it, so she insisted on coming over to watch it with her, it really made her angry, either laughing or not.
"Let go." Fu Qiushui felt that such a one-sided cold war would have no effect, especially when Shen Yuqing's hands changed from holding small hands to hugging her waist at some point. When she came back to her senses, her whole body was eaten a tofu. She rubbed her forehead helplessly and said.
Concubine Shen Gui, who was hugging her waist, looked innocent, but she didn't let go: "What's the matter if I hug my wife?"
"Who is your wife?" Empress Fu laughed angrily.
Shen Yuqing played a rogue: "Officer, I have been sleeping with you for so many days. A husband and wife are a hundred days of kindness, and our fate is not only for thousands of days, how can you be ruthless!"
The veins on Empress Fu's forehead twitched again. Although she didn't know what "puhang ruthless" meant, it probably wasn't a good word.
She was weak and couldn't shake Shen Yuqing's hand, and she couldn't talk about her, so she was in a dilemma for a while.
The atmosphere became stalemate again.
Then, an urgent message from eight hundred miles came.
Shouts of "Border customs expedited" came from a distance to the courtyard next door, because they lived next to His Majesty the Emperor, it was difficult to hide any movement from them. The queen reacted immediately, and shouted loudly: "Dongxiao! Mingchun!"
Shen Yuqing knew that the matter was serious, so she immediately let go.
Tonight is Tanmei and Biyan's vigil. Dongxiao and Mingchun are still asleep in their own rooms, and they don't know if they can hear the queen's cry. Shen Yuqing immediately asked Tan Mei to wake up the two of them, while Bi Yan went to wake up the people in Jianjia Palace. Resource curation: Unknown
All the sleeping maids and eunuchs were awakened, so they quickly gathered in front of Qin's living room. The empress's face was as cold as ice, and she gave instructions one after another in an orderly manner. The people who got the order hurriedly left the piano courtyard, and went to other surrounding courtyards to inform the concubines not to go out at will.
By the time they came back, more than half an hour had passed.
The courtyard next door was still brightly lit, and no news came. Fu Qiushui was a little worried, but it was hard for her to ask right now, so she could only walk around the room restlessly.
Shen Yuqing is very calm, but she has experienced the Anshi Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty. After fighting on the battlefield for more than six years, the assassination of the rebel leader An Lushan failed, and the game was over.
In the final analysis, the Xirong people are quite easy to deal with compared with the Spike Army of the Northeast Han Dynasty and the fierce Xiongnu in the Northwest.
But seeing Empress Fu was so worried, she thought about it and suggested: "If you are really worried, I will take you to have a look."
"What?" Fu Qiushui was taken aback.
Shen Yuqing smiled at her, and pulled Fu Qiushui to the back window.
It was inconvenient for someone to guard the front yard, so she opened the window, hugged Fu Qiushui and jumped out. Then, with lightness kung fu, he quietly sneaked into the room next door where the emperor was.
The surrounding hidden guards saw Shen Yuqing, after all, it was too difficult to sneak into a room with many hidden guards with a large living person without being discovered. Fortunately, Shen Yuqing didn't hide it deliberately, so they could see it straight.
Because of Queen Fu's presence, the dark guard silently gave up his resistance and let the imperial concubine come in.
—Although, they can't beat the imperial concubine.
The two of them sat on the beam, and they could see the tops of the heads of the people below when they lowered their heads, and the voices of conversation were clearly audible.
"Xirong has experienced frequent earthquakes this year. In June and June, several large earth dragons turned over in succession." After reporting the news, Xiao Bing took a rest, finally heaved a sigh of relief, and then hurriedly reported.
Xirong is located on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, where resources are scarce, and the climate is also very harsh, with a large temperature difference between day and night. Summer Japan was hard to bear, and there was an earthquake.
There were occasional small earthquakes in previous years, but this year I don’t know what happened. There were frequent earthquakes in that area. At first, there was a small earthquake of magnitude 3 or 4 every ten days and a half months. In this summer, it directly turned into a major earthquake. .
Although the area is vast and sparsely populated, it is a pity that relatively weak women and children suffered heavy casualties due to the poor location of the epicenter. Not only that, a lot of food was also buried in the ruins, and only part of it was rescued after taking time and effort. Now the rest may not be enough to eat.
With the threat of natural disasters on the one hand and the lack of women and food on the other, it is normal for Xirong to choose to invade. On the one hand, they can rob Dayan's stable city to settle down, and on the other hand, they can also capture women. Dayan is rich and rich, they have been jealous for a long time.
The first to bear the brunt is the Shu land bordering the plateau area.
Now the general guarding Shu is the well-known General Xiao, who is the husband of Zuo Xiang's sister, that is to say, he is Shen Yuqing's uncle in name.
Zuo Xiang's family is very loyal, otherwise they would not be able to marry the military officer. The most taboo of the emperor is the combination of civil and military forces. Civilian rebellion will fail in three years, but military commanders are much easier. However, rebellion by generals is easy to leave behind. If there are civil servants who are familiar with the official situation, many problems will not be a problem.
General Xiao and Shen Songyue fell in love with each other at the beginning, but due to the difference between civil and military, it may be difficult for them to achieve good things. It was the first emperor who bestowed the marriage with a big wave of his hand. I have to say that although the first emperor was a little obsessed with beauty in his later years, he was still wise. He knew that the Shen family was trustworthy, so he didn't care about the marriage this time, and his magnanimity won praise from all over the world, which can be regarded as a good talk in his later years.
Now General Xiao is guarding the land of Shu, taking the lead in confronting Xirong, and he doesn't know what the situation is.
However, judging from Xiaobing's description, the situation should still be under control.
The Xirong people fought desperately. Although their morale was high and they were not afraid of death, Dayan was well-equipped and had some hot weapons to help out. Xirong would not be able to defeat Shu for a while.
"General Xiao has sent people to the surrounding provinces to borrow troops." The little soldier didn't know much, and in order to hurry up and send the battle report, he didn't stay in Shu for long, and basically came here as soon as the battle broke out.
All the analyzes mentioned before were all conveyed by General Xiao after he reacted quickly.
This General Xiao is indeed capable, he can figure out the pros and cons in a short period of time, and he is not frightened by the sudden war at all.
His Majesty the Emperor frowned, not completely relieved.
It is said to go to the northern and southern provinces to borrow troops, but in fact they can't borrow much. In the south, Yunnan and Yunnan must defend against the small countries in the southwest, and in the north, connecting Weijiang and the Western Regions is also a top priority. Needless to say, the group of small countries in the southwest that have never been peaceful, even though the small countries in the Western Regions look cute and honestly pay tribute every year, the emperor knows that the Western Regions are not peaceful.
In recent years, wars and turmoil have often occurred among the small countries in the Western Regions, and they have fought against each other. Although it was just a small fight and ran away after grabbing something, it also proved that they were not as obedient as they appeared. If the garrison in Weijiang decreases, and at this time someone deliberately provokes them to attack Dayan in a round-robin battle, it will be bad.
Further east from the north is the army resisting the Huns, and they cannot move. Outside the two northeastern provinces, there are privet tribes who are eyeing them, but they dare not do anything because Dayan's soldiers are strong and strong. Pirates and Japanese pirates in the southeast are endless, and the navy is not suitable to be sent to the west to fight, otherwise they will fall if they are not acclimatized, and it will be a waste of troops.
To sum up, the place where troops are stationed in the frontier cannot be withdrawn at will, and troops can only be transferred from the inland of Dayan.
The emperor asked the soldier to take the soldier down to rest, and sat alone at the table facing Dayan's map with a headache.
Although there are no southern barbarians in the south, there are kings with different surnames, but they raise soldiers in the fiefdoms, which were entrusted by the former emperor, and the climate is now complete. It is necessary to prevent him from rebelling, but the withdrawal of the feudal clan cannot be rushed.
After thinking about it, only the troops in the Central Plains can be called.
Although Dayan's country is rich, its people are strong, and its army is strong, it also has many enemies. When a country is weak, all the countries around it are enemies; when a country is strong, it becomes a thorn in the side of all the countries around it. This is also the reason why emperors from the first emperor to the present did not dare to reduce the number of troops at will.
There are always idiot civil servants in the court who dislike the cost of raising so many troops, and don't think that there are so many restless small countries around them who are not vegetarians. Now because of the deterrence of the economy and force, he dare not move around, but as long as the force weakens, then Dayan will be a piece of fat, which is still the kind that no one guards.
Maybe it's been too long, and those people have nothing else to do except sing praises and be conceited. Proud and complacent with unrealistic ideas, and vainly trying to make all the hungry wolves submit to him with the power of the heaven and the country, I don't know if he took medicine before going out.
Shen Yuqing jumped off the beam directly with Empress Fu in her arms, startling the pensive emperor and almost shouting "Guardian".
"..." His Majesty the Emperor felt ashamed, with a dark face, "What are you two doing?"
Shen Yuqing was not afraid of him, she pulled Empress Fu to sit down, "I'm here to help you."
In fact, if you think about it for a while, you will know which side the emperor wants to transfer soldiers to support Xirong. Except for the small number of elite soldiers in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, only the soldiers in the Central Plains are left.
It is true that Dayanhaiyanheqing Road does not pick up relics, but this is not the case in all places. The Jiangnan area can do this without compromise, but the Central Plains area is still a bit wet.
Didn’t the Kaiyuan prosperity of the Tang Dynasty still not pick up lost things on the road? But in fact, there are bandits and water thieves hiding in many places in the Central Plains. Later, when the old emperor became increasingly fatuous, he even made a series of twelve docks. Twelve bandit forces united together, and the bandit leader even directly occupied the Tianxian Baidi City near the Yangtze River as his base camp.
Presumably Dayan is not much better than Datang.
Why do you need to station troops when the Central Plains is fine? It could only be to suppress the bandits.
Originally, Shen Yuqing was also a pure-bred disciple who didn't understand politics, but she couldn't stand the fact that she had N good friends who cut black and white by her side. For example, the poisonous sister in the Jianghu, and the Qinniang who is a big fool among the officials' children, they are very good at dealing with the court and the like, and complain about current affairs when they have nothing to do when they have nothing to do.
The more Shen Yuqing listened, the more she understood.
Although she didn't know the situation of Dayan as well as the emperor, but the bits and pieces of news she heard from Dong Xiao, Mrs. Shen and others were enough to piece together some truths. After further analysis, it can be inferred that eight-nine is not far from ten.
The emperor was very surprised after hearing her words.
Dayan has no female officials so far, and few women have contact with the government. Although many women know a little about court affairs, it is really limited. He didn't say anything, Shen Yuqing could analyze so much, completely changed the emperor's previous impression of Shen Yuqing.
It turns out that this shrew from the Western Regions only knows how to fight and kill...
In the midst of his busy schedule, he was still thinking wildly.
The queen could tell at a glance that he was distracted, and silently knocked on the table to recall his thoughts.
The emperor quickly regained his senses, and Su Rong asked, "Do you have any good suggestions?"
Since Shen Yuqing knew the situation, her so-called suggestion was definitely not nonsense. If it was useful, it would be a great help to him.
Shen Yuqing's idea is actually very simple, it evolved from the situation in Datang.
She paused word by word: "Call people from the Jianghu, let them go to suppress the bandits, and then the Central Plains army will support Xi Rong."
People in Jianghu are generally scattered, and Dayan's Jianghu sect is not large, with only two to three thousand people in the school. They may not be very orderly when they fight together, let alone join forces with other people from the rivers and lakes.
So what Shen Yuqing thought was to use the bandits as a training object for the Jianghu people first, and then wait until the situation was almost over. If there is an emergency at the border, let these people from the rivers and lakes go to support them. If the border is stabilized, then the trained people from the rivers and lakes will not be considered in vain.
After all, the bandits are cunning, and the army has not wiped them out after so many years. But people in the rivers and lakes actually know the bandits better than the army, and it is easier to clear the bandits' nests.
In the Tang Dynasty, although the army worked hard to suppress bandits, due to various reasons, they often could only take away some small villages. People in the rivers and lakes are different, each with their own magical powers, sneaking in quietly and then attacking suddenly, it is much easier to destroy the bandit's lair.
The emperor hadn't thought of asking people in the world for help. Usually, the officials and the knights looked at each other and hated each other.
"People from the Jianghu will accept the recruitment?" The emperor was very suspicious.
Generally, those who accept recruitment are either originally ordinary people, but have become bandits as a last resort. Or they have longed for the imperial court and want to be a high official.
People from Jianghu grew up in sects, and they were educated to look down on the imperial court. It's not that the emperor never thought about recruiting security, but no one has been willing.
Shen Yuqing rolled her eyes, beckoning? Do your Spring and Autumn Dreams!
"We people in the Jianghu do not accept recruiting, Emperor Dog, listen to me, it is not recruiting, but recruiting them to help!"
People in the rivers and lakes are generally full of chivalry, and often draw their swords to help when encountering injustice. It is not unacceptable for them to ask them to help suppress the bandits. As long as the court doesn't look too ugly, they will accept it if they want to take advantage of people in the rivers and lakes, and then cross the river and demolish the bridge.
If he lowered his stance and admitted that the imperial court was too busy for him, and therefore asked for the help of the chivalrous men, those upright people full of justice would definitely be obliged to take over the job.
As for supporting the Xirong battlefield, it is not difficult at all. When the Tang Dynasty was captured by the rebels, although the martial arts sect saw the world and wiped out the imperial court, didn't they try their best to protect the family and the country
A great chivalrous man serves the country and the people, not just for fun.
"So, let me put down the arrogance and face of you dog officials, and send an upright and upright general from grassroots to discuss cooperation with them. The court is here to ask for help, not to give charity."
Bah, call your sister Ann!
Since ancient times, there has been no good thing about recruiting security. Basically, they were sent to the most dangerous places by the emperor to die. People in the Jianghu are upright and upright, but they are not fools. Look at who doesn't understand those little thoughts behind the scenes.
His Majesty the Emperor was thoughtful.
He really didn't know much about those knights. Although he didn't look at them with the idea of "fighting with martial arts" in the past, and even admired their superb martial arts and unique abilities, he didn't put himself in their shoes to understand their behavior. and ideas. Now that I think about it, the attitude of the court is really too offensive. No wonder people in the Jianghu always think that they are dog officials, who only know how to put on airs and disregard human lives, and don't know how to do practical things for ordinary people.
"I see." The emperor nodded solemnly, "Thank you!"
Seeing that he admitted his mistakes with a good attitude, Shen Yuqing was very satisfied. Seeing this, I am willing to say a few more words, such as telling the other party how Datang handled the relationship between martial arts and the court.
"When the war is over, you can set up a martial arts sect to train generals. Recruit disciples from all over the world, whether they are ordinary people or martial arts people. These people belong directly to you, and no one from any faction can interfere. A well-trained general will not only go to the border To see the real war, you have to go deep into the people and martial arts people, and fight with them." Shen Yuqing tried hard to recall the situation of Tiance Mansion, "So these disciples must be upright, they must sincerely identify with the martial arts people, and sincerely protect Common people. Although there will be no effect for a while, and it may even cause these disciples to be excluded by both the court and the martial arts, as long as they persevere, there will be results."
Datang's Tiance Mansion is full of good soldiers who are upright and upright. Although they were regarded as lackeys of the imperial court by the people in the Jianghu at first, they were also considered by the people in the court to be a self-willed and depraved alien. However, with a little bit of hard work, they later proved the arrogance and benevolence of the wolf of the Eastern Capital. Complimented.
It's all about human effort, and some things can't be stopped just because they look difficult. Many things can always be successful if you work hard.
Fu Qiushui looked at Shen Yuqing in surprise. Although she didn't understand so much, she could understand the purpose of Shen Yuqing's proposal. It's just to ease the conflict between the imperial court and the martial arts, so as not to push the people in the rivers and lakes into a hurry to really rebel and make trouble.
Let the two sides be considerate to each other and maintain the security and peace of Dayan.
It's really difficult, and it's not easy to change people's concepts. But as Shen Yuqing said, it all depends on human effort.
Work a little bit, start by asking people in the rivers and lakes to help suppress the bandits, and gradually improve the relationship.
After sending Shen Yuqing away, the emperor let out a long sigh. I didn't feel it when it was peaceful before, but when an incident broke out, many weak points that I didn't pay much attention to before all surfaced.
Dayan was indeed prosperous, but the moths hiding under the appearance of prosperity also began to breed quietly. It is no wonder that no matter how prosperous a country is, it will eventually perish. It is not entirely because of the stupidity of the rulers, but more because when it is prosperous, Mingjun is also easy to slack off.
Therefore, there must always be a few discerning people around, be prepared for danger in times of peace, and worry about the world's worries beforehand.
It's just that the emperor didn't expect that the first one to wake him up would be Shen Yuqing who had been disguising herself as a "shrew".
Thinking of this, His Majesty the Emperor felt a little heartbroken.
He suddenly found a problem...
Shen Yuqing seemed to fly off the beam with her arms around her queen's waist before? ?
What did she do to my queen!
After thinking about it, His Majesty felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly sent someone to call the leader of the hidden guards who protected the queen, and he wanted to inquire carefully about what happened these days. When did Shen Yuqing have such a good relationship with the queen, and she brought her to listen to the corner at night.
