Chapter 507 (1/2)
It's very cold in November. However, it was cold outside and warm inside the palace.
”Next month, it's your birthday. Last year's birthday passed simply. This year, it can't be any more,” said the princess The imperial concubine of Song Dynasty wanted to hold a birthday feast for the prince.
The prince immediately said: ”the mother Princess, now the Treasury is empty, these empty ones will not be used.” If he does what his mother and concubine want, he will get tens of thousands of liang of silver. He really forced the Minister of the Ministry of the household to take the money, but he didn't think it was necessary. The Treasury has no money. He also throws money into it for his birthday. What will the following ministers think of him as a prince. Surely I think the prince is incompetent.
But the imperial concubine of song disagreed and said, ”how much can I spend on my birthday? There is no more money in the state treasury, but there is still a little money left? ” Her son is a prince, a prince of a country. No one can treat her son badly.
At this time, the eunuch hurried in and said to the imperial concubine song and the prince, ”your concubine, your highness, eight hundred miles northwest!”
The prince's face changed greatly and hurried out of the glass palace.
”Go and find out what's the matter?” said the imperial concubine Eight hundred Li in the northwest is in urgent need. Nine out of ten, there is war. In this winter, I don't know what kind of moth these northern savages are making..
Mother Ying came back soon, and said to the imperial concubine song, ”Niang, Cao De, the imperial envoy, was killed by the brigands who were waiting for him.”
The imperial concubine of Song Dynasty snorted coldly and said, ”these brigands are really lawless. Even the imperial guards dare to kill them. We must let the emperor wipe them out. ”
”Ying Ma immediately complimented:” Your Highness is wise and powerful. He will definitely kill these horse thieves It's as if the prince went to kill the bandits himself.
The imperial concubine of Song Dynasty was not interested in the horse thief, but when she talked about the northwest, she thought of Yuxi who had married to the Northwest: ”Han's poor girl has been married to the Northwest for more than a year.”
”It's almost two years,” said Ying. Niang, it's strange to say that monk Liaotong said that Han's success brought failure, but he didn't expect that after marrying Yunqing, Yunqing not only didn't bring failure, but also made Yunqing prosper. Now Yunqing has become the second-class general! ” Mother Tian, who was killed by Corydalis that day, is a good sister to Ying Mammy. She has always wanted to avenge her sister, but now she has the opportunity to take advantage of it.
Princess song frowned.
Ying said: ”Niang, Yunqing is now the general of the border city, with 100000 troops in his hands. The Han family was married by your mother on that day. If she hated... ” At this point, Mammy Ying doesn't go on.
The imperial concubine of Song Dynasty snorted coldly and said, ”she dare!” The mouth said so, but the heart is still bottomless. Yunqing controls a hundred thousand troops. If he becomes rebellious at the instigation of Hans, the consequences will be unimaginable.
”Mother Ying said:” Niang, where can the family members of the general of the border city follow. You see, Madame Tong has been in the capital with her son and grandson. ” The generals of the frontier always stay in the capital for most of their wives and children. On the face of it, the imperial court settled their wives and children so that they could enjoy their happiness in the capital city without worrying about being afraid in the border city. In fact, they acted as hostages to guard against these generals' rebellion. However, in recent years, the imperial court's control over the following areas was not as good as before, and the following officials were not willing to send their families to the capital. But should mammy this words meaning is lets Yuxi return to Beijing to be the hostage.
The suggestion of Ying Ma is very vicious. She thought that Yuxi had only one daughter now. If she was taken back to the capital now, Yunqing would definitely take a concubine and have a son for the inheritance of her offspring. At that time, Yuxi will stay in the capital to keep the widow, and Yunqing will have a concubine and a son in Yucheng. Waiting for a long time, there must be no relationship between husband and wife, but only fame. After all, men must care more about the women and children accompanying them. This kind of revenge is better than killing Han directly.
The imperial concubine song thought about it and said, ”it's really time for Han to return to Beijing.” Yunqing has a feud with the Song family. Although Han family has always been harmless, he must be jealous. These two people can't be put in the same place at all. It's only after scoring.
The prince was furious to learn that the imperial envoy had been killed by the brigands. He immediately called Yu Xiang and song Huaijin into the palace and said to them, ”the northwest brigands and brigands are too rampant. They must be exterminated.”
It doesn't need to be discussed at all. If we don't order the suppression of bandits, what is the face and prestige of the court. So even if it's winter now, it can't be delayed. Yu Xiang didn't object, but asked: ”Your Highness, bandits and horse thieves are rampant in Shaanxi Gansu area. Ji Xuan has been suppressing bandits and horse thieves for several years. Not only have they failed, but these bandits and horse thieves are becoming more and more rampant. Now even the Imperial Envoys dare to kill them. Your highness, the imperial court should send people down to suppress bandits this time. ”
Song Huaijin snorted coldly and said, ”I don't know who is the most suitable for Yu Xiang.”
Yu Xiang, a veteran, said respectfully to the prince, ”who is the most suitable? I believe that his royal highness already has a choice.”
The prince really has a choice. Chen Yu is the natural choice: ”Chen Yu is a military general from a family background, and he was trained by Taining Hou. He is most suitable for this task.” In addition to Chen Yu, the prince of other people is not at ease.
