Hot recommendation:,,,,,,,
It's already very cold in November. However, it was cold and windy outside, but inside the palace was warm like spring.
Concubine Song said to the prince: "Next month, it will be your birthday. Last year's birthday will simply pass. This year, you can't do this again." Concubine Song wanted to host the prince's birthday banquet.
The prince said immediately: "Mother concubine, now that the treasury is empty, these imaginary ones are no longer needed." If he does what his concubine wants, it will cost hundreds of thousands of taels. It's really forcing Hubu Shangshu to take out the money, and it's not that he can't make up the money, but he doesn't think it is necessary. The national treasury has no money, so he still throws money in for his birthday. How would the officials below see him as the prince? I must feel that this prince is incompetent.
Concubine Song did not agree, and said, "How much money can you spend on a birthday? If the treasury has no money, how much less can you make?" Her son is the prince, the prince of a country, and no one can treat her son badly. Up.
At this moment, the eunuch outside hurriedly walked in, and said to the prince towards Concubine Song: "The concubine, your Royal Highness, the rush will be delivered to the northwest of 800 miles!"
The prince's face changed drastically, and he hurried out of the Liuli Palace.
Concubine Song said to Mother Ying next to her: "Go and find out, what do you see?" Eight hundred miles in the northwest was rushed, and there was a war. In this big winter, I don't know what moth these northern barbarians are making. .
Madam Ying came back soon, and said to Concubine Song: "Niang Niang, it was the imperial servant Cao De who followed and waited for someone to be killed by a horse thief."
Concubine Song Gui snorted and said: "These horse thieves are really lawless. Even the imperial servants dare to kill them. We must let the emperor clean them."
Mother Ying immediately complimented: "His Royal Highness, a wise martial artist, will definitely be able to kill these horse thieves." It was as if the prince went to kill the bandits himself.
Concubine Song didn't care about the horse thief, but when she talked about the Northwest, she thought of Yuxi who had married to the Northwest: "It has been more than a year since the poor girl of Han married to the Northwest."
Mother Ying said, "It’s been almost two years. Niang Niang, it’s strange to say that, but Monk Huotong said that the Han family was a hit and a bad guy, but he didn’t expect that after marrying Yun Qing, he not only didn’t let Yun Qing go bad, but instead let him go bad. Yun Qing is flourishing, and now Yun Qing has become a high-ranking general!" Tian Nu, who was killed by Zi Jin that day, and Ying Ying were good sisters to Jin Lan. She has always wanted to avenge her sisters, but now she has the opportunity to take advantage of it.
Concubine Song frowned.
Madam Ying said, "Niang Niang, Yun Qing is now the general of the border town and has a hundred thousand troops in his hand. This Han family was married to Niang Niang, if she hates it..." At this point, Madam Ying will not go on. Up.
Concubine Song Gui snorted coldly, and said, "She dare!" She said that but she still had no answer in her heart. Yun Qing controlled a hundred thousand army, and if he became rebellious under the instigation of the Han family, the consequences would be disastrous.
Madam Ying said: "Manny, where can the family members of the general city follow me. You see, Mrs. Tong has always been in the capital with her son and grandson." It is said that the imperial court settled their wives and children so that they can enjoy the good fortune in the capital without worrying about fear in the border town. In fact, they are used as hostages to guard against the rebellion of these generals. It's just that the imperial court's control over the following years is not as good as before, and the officials below are unwilling to send their families to the capital. And what Mother Ying meant was to let Yuxi return to Beijing to be a hostage.
Mother Ying’s suggestion is very vicious. She was thinking that Yuxi had only given birth to a daughter now, and if she was taken back to the capital now, Yun Qing would definitely take a concubine and give birth to children for the inheritance of her heirs. At that time, Yuxi stayed in the capital to keep a living widow, and Yun Qing had a concubine and gave birth to a child in Yucheng. After waiting for a long time, the husband and wife will definitely have no feelings and only leave their names. After all, men must be more concerned about the women and children who accompany them. This kind of revenge can be more gratifying than killing Han directly.
Concubine Song considered it for a while, and said, "It is true that the Han family should be returned to Beijing." Yun Qing had an antagonism with the Song family. Although the Han family had always been harmless, he must be jealous in her heart. The two of them must not be placed in one place, they must be separated.
The prince learned that the imperial servant had been killed by the horse thief and was extremely furious. He immediately summoned Yu Xiang and Song Huaijin into the palace, and said to the two of them: "The Northwest gangster horse thief is too rampant and must be eliminated."
This matter does not need to be discussed at all. If no order is given to suppress bandits, what is the face and prestige of the court. Therefore, even if it is winter now, this matter cannot be delayed. Yu Xiang had no objection, but just asked: "His Royal Highness, bandits and horse thieves are rampant in the Shaanxi-Gansu area. Ji Xuan has suppressed bandits for a few years. Not only has these bandits and horse thieves been ineffective, they have become more and more rampant. Now they even dare to kill imperial servants. Your Highness, This time the bandits should be sent down by the court."
Song Huaijin snorted coldly and said, "I don't know who Yu Xiang thinks is the most suitable?"
Yu Xiang was an old fried dough stick, and said respectfully to the prince: "Who is the most suitable person? The old minister believes that the prince must have a candidate in his heart."
The prince is really selected, and this candidate is naturally Chen Yu: "Chen Yu is from a family of military generals and was trained by Tai Ninghou, so he is most suitable for this important task." Apart from Chen Yu, the other princes were not relieved.
Not to mention how excited Chen Yu knew that the prince asked him to kill the bandits. When he returned to the Hou Mansion, he happily told Taining Hou the good news.
Tai Ninghou was not happy, this errand was full of dangers.
Chen Yu had always dreamed of leading soldiers to fight. After learning the good news, he patronized and was happy, but he did not expect the crisis behind him. After listening to Tai Ninghou's words, he calmed down and said, "Father, you mean Ji Xuan will make trouble."
Tai Ninghou nodded and said, "If Ji Xuan doesn't send you elite soldiers, but only gives you some defeated soldiers, do you think you can succeed in suppressing the bandits?" The prince only asked Chen Yu to suppress the bandits, but did not let him lead the troops. Therefore, the initiative is still in the hands of Ji Xuan.
Chen Yu's heart trembled. He was going to suppress bandits this time because he wanted to make contributions, not to be cannon fodder. After thinking for a while, Chen Yu asked, "Father, Ji Xuan is from the Song family, and we don't have a close relationship with the Song family." Song Huaijin could only say if Ji Xuan could cooperate. Just wanting Song Huaijin to speak, it is easier said than done, unless they are willing to take refuge in the Song family, but this is absolutely impossible.
Tai Ninghou said: "I think about it, how can I break this round?"
Chen Yu wanted to come for a long time and said: "If you don't want to be controlled by Ji Xuan, you can only use the Northwest Army. The court is not worried. I go to the prince to ask Yun Qing to send troops, and the prince will definitely agree. But I am very satisfied. I am worried that Yun Qing will not agree to send troops."
Taining paused and asked, "If Yun Qing is willing to send troops, what are you going to do?"
Chen Yu said: "The Northwest Army has fought with the North Abductees for many years and has a strong combat effectiveness. If the Northwest Army is really used, only 5,000 troops will be able to wipe out the bandits in Gansu."
Taininghou shook his head and said: "The idea is good, but you have overlooked one of the most important issues. No matter how brave the Northwest Army is, it will be in vain if they don't obey your dispatch." Soldiers don't listen to the dispatch, no matter how powerful the generals are, they can't fight the bandits. success.
Chen Yu was taken aback for a moment and said, "Dad said I can't control these people?" Chen Yu was still very confident in himself.
Tai Ninghou said: "It's not that your ability is not good, but that the Northwest Army is brave, but likewise, these people are also very fierce. In the beginning of the spring, so many people died in Yucheng, and the court did not even pay any pensions. Those lone widows and orphans have no place to live. In this case, the Northwest Army will not listen to the dispatch of the generals who descended from the court." The court is not strong, and the soldiers below will naturally not listen to the dispatch of the court. This is normal.
Chen Yu silently said after a while: "Can the Northwest Army be used anymore?" Chen Yu felt it was a pity that if he could lead the Northwest Army to suppress bandits, he would definitely get twice the result with half the effort.
Tai Ninghou said: "Even if the Northwest Army wants to send troops to suppress bandits, only the generals sent by Yun Qing can succeed." After a pause, Tai Ninghou said: "The Northwest Army has a heavy responsibility for defending the border city, unless it is to endanger the safety of the society. They can only be dispatched by big things. Small things like the bandits can't work for the Northwest Army." The crisis society is in danger, and this situation can only be rebelled.
Ji Xuan was unreliable, nor was the Northwest Army, nor could he lead troops to the Northwest to suppress bandits, Chen Yu was immediately stumped. After thinking for a while, Chen Yu said: "Although Ji Xuan is the governor of Shanxi and Gansu, the governor Zhang Wenjie has always been at odds with him." At first, Chen Yu wanted to call the Northwest Army, but didn't want to get involved in the local battle. . The following battles were no less than those at the court, and he was just going down to suppress bandits and gaining military merit, and he was not stationed in places all the year round. It was really troublesome to get involved in their battles. But nowadays, it is impossible not to want to get involved.
Taininghou looked at his son in embarrassment and said: "This time the prince sent you to the northwest to suppress bandits. This is an opportunity and a test. If you succeed, you can go further. If you fail..." What about failure? Taininghou did not say.
Chen Yu nodded and looked a little heavy.
Tai Ninghou said, "Although Cao De is talented, he is too eager for quick success. If the prince had followed our advice that day, don't send Cao De to investigate the case of Xu's family, it will not cause the situation today." It was said that it was inappropriate to send Cao De to Yucheng, but the prince wouldn't listen, and he couldn't help it.
The result of Cao De's eagerness for quick success is that Yun Qing took the opportunity to kill Geng Jichen and Kang Donglin and other forces that were hostile to him. Now Yucheng's 100,000 troops are in his hands. Now that Yun Qing's wings are full, even the crown prince can comfort him. "
Chen Yu immediately said: "I think the biggest mistake he committed was not to rush for quick success and quick gain, but to underestimate the enemy. He underestimated Yun Qing and the Han family." Underestimating the enemy is the taboo of the military strategist. He will never make such a mistake.
Tai Ninghou nodded and said: "When you get to the northwest, you must not only guard against Ji Xuan and Zhang Wenjie's mediation, but also be careful about Yun Qing. Cao De was killed, this is a bit strange." The meaning of these words is almost like Cao De is Yun. Killed by the engine.
Chen Yu shook his head and said, "Father, Cao De cannot be killed by Yun Qing." No matter who it is, it is always profitable to kill. Killing Cao De is harmful to Yun Qing.
Tai Ninghou did not refute Chen Yu's words, he just thought Yun Qing was suspicious, and he was not sure: "When you go to the northwest, you must be careful in everything." R8
