v2.Chapter 345 (1/2)
Seeing off Chu Jun Wang and his party, the palace began to prepare for the Spring Festival.
This year, the arrangement of the palace, sacrificial ceremony and new year banquet by the Ministry of rites are much more grand than in previous years.
The country is stable, the people live in peace, and the major festivals should be arranged accordingly, which can reflect the national strength of Beili.
In addition to Dongling, Ningdi also occupies half of Dongling. The wish of the former emperors to unify Kyushu has been realized.
Yufu was only 16 years old after the age of the emperor. She was still very young. She had no problem in annexing half of Dongling in the rest of her imperial career.
”There is no problem in annexing Kyushu by force, but this is never the real meaning of unifying Kyushu.”
When all the ministers talked about Dongling, Yu Fu said, ”if we take over Xikun and Dongling by force regardless of the consequences, the national strength of Beili will be enough to defeat them in the father's generation. But the ancestors' explanation is not to hurt the common people, not to let them be poisoned by the war. The territory of the two countries we laid down before was due to civil strife in the two countries. Now the area under the control of emperor Ning is still stable, so we can't invade at will. ”
When war begins in peacetime, it must be the common people who suffer.
This is the bottom line of Yufu. She will never allow anyone to fight rashly just for annexing Dongling.
One official said: ”Your Majesty, Emperor Ning is fatuous and incompetent, which is well known. Even now, under his control, Dongling people are still stable, but sooner or later chaos will come. How can a fatuous King rule his own country? ”
”Then wait for the chaos to come out, and Beili will never act unjustly, and will never take the initiative to fight against the friendly countries.”
Yufu's voice is light, containing endless calm and firm, let people know that her mind will never change easily.
Some of the ministers in the central court agreed with and some opposed it.
Some are hesitant, others are on the lookout.
Those who agree with him think that Beili has been waiting for hundreds of years, but they don't care about waiting for a few years or more, so it's more important to maintain the justice of Beili Wang Shi.
Opponents believe that while the morale of the military is booming and the situation of reunification is beginning to emerge, we should work hard to take the last piece of territory, so as to avoid further trouble in the future.
”I think your majesty is right.”
Gu Shubai stepped out and arched his hand and said, ”Your Majesty has the hearts of all the people in the world, and does not take an inch of land as a benefit. This is the virtue of the Ming emperor. What's more, your Majesty's heart is derived from the legacy of the previous kings, which reflects your Majesty's filial piety. Do you want to force your majesty to be an unfilial person? ”
He fully supports Yu Fu's decision. A tall hat is suddenly pulled down. Who dares to lead?
To say that it was unfilial for Yu Fu to disobey the emperor's will, wouldn't it be unfaithful for these ministers to encourage Yu Fu to send troops?
It's better to keep your mouth shut if this accusation doesn't stir up.
Some people take a look at Gu Shubai. Hum, they know that if they listen to their wife's words, do they still have their own opinions?
Tianyunpo also came out and said: ”general Gu is right. What's more, our Beili country is powerful. Why don't you worry that emperor Ning won't take the initiative to join us? If we take the initiative, it seems that we are stingy. ”
The Grand Master also agreed.
Something's wrong. The grand division and general Gu have never dealt with each other. Why are they so good now?
Yu Fu didn't say anything about it, so he got up and said, ”well, there's no need to discuss this. From today to the end of the new year, we will take a rest at the end of the new year from tomorrow. We will discuss everything after the copy is opened. ”
Having said that, with a wave of big sleeves, the government affairs of the court hall were temporarily finished.
At the same time, Dongling, the central court is in a tangled chaos, without the joy of the new year.
Recently, some ministers have proposed to attach to Beili, saying that most of the mainland of Kyushu is in Beili's hands. Instead of waiting for Beili to attack Dongling, it's better to take the initiative to attach to Beili. Maybe we can keep peace.
As time went on, more and more ministers took this suggestion seriously and wrote to Ning Chengzhi one after another.
Ning Chengzhi has a headache.
At first, he was firmly opposed to this view. His ministers wrote that he should be attached to Beili, which was tantamount to peeling off his Dragon Robe?
What's the position of the Gu family in Beili? Once they are attached, how can Gu Shubai let them go?!
He killed several ministers who initially proposed, but he couldn't stop this trend. At the end of the new year, some courtiers went to Beili with their wives and children in the name of visiting relatives!
Dongling's official, if you don't do it, you might as well go to Beili and maybe have a future!
I heard that the courtiers who fled to Beili at first also got suitable jobs in Beili. Dongling court was ready to move and fled many people.
Now Ning Chengzhi did not dare to kill any more. He could only keep the four gates of Lin'an well guarded and forbid the ministers and their families to go in and out.
Now, the courtiers and their families are restricted from visiting relatives and friends when they want to take advantage of the Spring Festival.
Ning Chengzhi was hiding in the bedroom, and he didn't dare to go to the imperial study to see the fold, and he didn't dare to meet any ministers.
For a moment, he also thought that it was really boring for him to be the emperor. If he belonged to Beili No, I can't. If I didn't want to take care of the whole family of Marquis's house, maybe I could.But with that, now he wants to belong to Beili. Isn't he looking for his own death?
No, death can't be attached!
”Your Majesty?”
There was a woman's voice outside the closed door of the bedroom.
Ning Chengzhi subconsciously shrunk for a moment, and suddenly reflected that it was the voice of Princess Li. He had made Princess Li a noble princess, and was worthy of power in the harem.
Thinking of Li Guifei's affection for many years, now looking around, I can't find an old friend like her any more. Ning Chengzhi slowed down and said, ”come in.”
The door of the hall was pushed open. Princess Li came in from the outside of the hall with a box in her hand and a smile. ”How can your majesty sit on the ground? It's cold on the ground. Please get up and try the soup made by my concubine. ”
After all these years, Princess Li can only make soup.
It's rare that everything has not changed in her. It seems that he is still the king with great power and donglingjiangshan, and she is also the tender and jealous concubine around him.
Ning Chengzhi wry smile, ”this soup will not add deer antler what of it?”
Li Guifei blushed and gave him a gentle push. ”Your Majesty teased me again. What kind of person is my concubine?”
She's not that kind of person Who else is that kind of person?
Ning Chengzhi is reluctant to tease her at the moment. After all, she is the last one to stay by her side.
He looked at Princess Li's hand and said, ”what kind of soup are you cooking today?”
Princess Li was very excited. ”It's cold now. My concubine looks at the emperor's weakness recently. She doesn't like to visit the Royal Garden any more. It's said that beef is the best way to complement cold, so I cooked beef soup for your majesty. There are a lot of tonic herbs in it. Please have a taste. ”
Ning Chengzhi sat down quietly to drink the soup. Li Guifei looked like she was in high spirits. She leaned against the table and supported her head with her hands. She opened her eyes to see his reaction.
He chewed it, and the beef stew was so bad that he could swallow it without much chewing.
He said with a smile, ”it's delicious. Drink it yourself.”
Then she asked her to sit down and ordered the maids to serve him soup. Princess Li sat down according to her words and they sat side by side drinking soup.
After a long silence, there was only the sound of the spoon gently touching the wall of the bowl, and the subtle sound of chewing and swallowing.
Ning Chengzhi suddenly said, ”I'll make you queen. Do you agree?”
Princess Li's spoon fell to the ground in fright. She looked up at Ning Chengzhi in disbelief. She was both happy and surprised. ”Your Majesty, you Is that true? ”
