Unparalleled Concubine

"My son kowtowed to my father."

"Get up."

Emperor Chengde pointed to the chair next to him, and said lazily, "It's a hot day, and you're sweating all over. Sit down and talk about anything."

"Thank you, Father."

Ji Wen was a lot more cautious in front of the Emperor Chengde, he only sat on half of his buttocks, lowered his head and said: "I am here because I have something to trouble my father."

Emperor Chengde narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "I knew it, you boys, if you have nothing to do, you won't think of going to the palace to see my old father."

The Seventh Prince quickly lowered his head: "Father's state affairs are complicated, and the sons just can't bear to bother Father..."

"Well, what's the matter?"

Ji Wen lowered his head, hesitated for a while, and finally said: "That's right, Erchen recently made a kind of strong wine."

Emperor Chengde frowned, but did not interrupt the Seventh Prince, but quietly waited for him to finish speaking.

His Royal Highness Wei Wang lowered his head and said respectfully: "Originally brewing wine is suspected of wasting food. I have always disliked drinking alcohol, but I accidentally discovered that this kind of strong wine is used to clean wounds and can dispel external evils. My son I just thought about whether we can prepare some of this kind of spirits in all the armies of the Jin Dynasty, so that even if my soldiers of the Jin Dynasty suffer some injuries, the external evil will not enter the body and die."

The so-called external evils entering the body are viral infections. In this era of extremely backward medical conditions, the injuries are all due to the hard resistance of the body, and often a cut is made on the body, and one will die of tetanus!

Even ordinary inflammation can kill a person.

Emperor Chengde finally became serious. He looked at his son and said, "Who told you this?"

His Royal Highness King Wei was sweating on his forehead, bowed his head and said: "I told the wine maker of my son, he said that this kind of strong wine, if used well, can save countless lives, I don't really believe it, but this Such a big event needs to be tried, so I have been to the Ministry of War several times in the past few days, wanting the Ministry of War to send some spirits to a certain army for testing, but the result was rejected by the Ministry of War because the soldiers are not allowed to drink alcohol!"

Speaking of this, the Seventh Prince gritted his teeth: "The left servant Xie Jun and the right servant Chen Zhong of the Ministry of War bullied my minister too much. I went to the Ministry of War for three days. They haven't given me a reply so far. My minister is gone. The only way is to go to the palace to meet the emperor and ask for justice!"

Emperor Chengde took a deep look at his seventh son, and said in a deep voice, "Are you sure it will work?"

"Whether there is or not, Royal Father can find a random army and try it out. If this kind of thing is effective, it will be a great gospel for the generals of the Jin Dynasty, and it is the kindness that Royal Father bestowed on them!"

Speaking of this, the Seventh Prince paused, and continued: "If it is invalid, I am willing to bear the responsibility!"

This attitude of taking the initiative to take the blame is what all leaders like.

Emperor Chengde narrowed his eyes, and finally said: "You are also thinking about Da Jin, so it's not good to reject you, I will write a note to the Ministry of War later, and let them try their best to cooperate with you."

The Seventh Prince was overjoyed, bowed his head and said, "Thank you, Royal Father!"

Emperor Chengde didn't look away, he said indifferently: "This wine making business, what are you doing now?"

Ji Wen bowed her head in embarrassment and said, "My family members have already set up a small workshop. If this wine proves to be effective, I am willing to relieve my father's worries and make wine for my Jin soldiers!"

If this thing can really sterilize, it is indeed medicinal wine.

Emperor Chengde narrowed his eyes, and said calmly: "If this thing is really useful, this business can be entrusted to you, but you have to write down the method of brewing wine and hand it over to me."

The seventh prince nodded again and again: "Father, don't worry, I will write down the wine making process when I return to the mansion today, and send it to the palace."

Seeing that the Seventh Prince was still "sensible", Emperor Chengde nodded in satisfaction.

The emperor sat on the main seat in the side hall, looked at the seventh prince, and asked casually: "Lao Qi is the closest, is he very close to that Li Xin?"

The Seventh Prince was shocked, and finally bowed his head and said: "My son and Li Xin met by chance, but it was quite speculative, so we have some contacts during this period."

Since the Son of Heaven asked, it must be impossible to hide the truth. It is better to say it outright, maybe you will not be convicted.

His Majesty the Emperor laughed and said, "Don't be nervous, I didn't say anything about you."

The emperor of Chengde glanced at his son with a calm tone.

"Old Qi, what do you... think of Nanjiang?"

Chapter 149 The Li family has no loyal ministers!

His Royal Highness King Wei felt a chill in his heart.

The southern Xinjiang issue is currently the most sensitive issue in Dajin. There is no one. Before this, this matter has never been brought up on the table. Everyone may know it well, but they are all silent of.

Even Emperor Chengde himself hadn't mentioned this matter to any prince before this.

But now, he actually asked bluntly.

The seventh prince pondered for a long time, and finally looked up at his father, and said respectfully: "Father, my son thinks that you must be cautious about matters in the southern border, and if there is a slight mistake, it will cause serious damage to my Dajin. People with ulterior motives may take the opportunity to make trouble."

30 years ago, when the Great Jin ruled the world, there were not only Jin and Shu in the world, but five countries, one of the five countries of the Great Jin!

Back then, Marquis of Pingnan Li Zhijie led the Pingnan Army to pacify Southern Shu, Chen Guogong Ye Sheng led the Dingbei Army to pacify the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the remaining two small countries surrendered without a fight, and the world was unified.

You must know that the Northern Zhou Dynasty was the largest country in the world at that time. If it were not for the incompetence of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the chances of the Great Jin to rule the world were not great. Up to now, although there are no southern border rebellions in the Northern Region, there are still some people from the Northern Zhou Dynasty. The power of the survivors is there, and Ye Ming, the son of Chen Guogong Ye Cheng, is still leading the army in the north.

It's just that the northern land is different from the southern border. The Ye family in Chen Guogong's mansion did not support themselves like the Li family. After Ye Cheng pacified the Northern Zhou Dynasty, he obediently returned to the capital and handed over the military power. After 30 years, he was no longer involved in military affairs.

It is worth mentioning that Ye Sheng, the grandfather of Chen Guogong's mansion, is still alive and well, although he is over 70 years old, but he no longer serves in the military, and he grows flowers and plants in Chen Guogong's mansion every day.

Ye Lin, the general of the Habayashi Guard, is Ye Sheng's youngest son, and the little father-in-law Ye Mao, whom Li Xin met at the Prince Wei's residence, is his eldest grandson.

When Li Xin first entered the capital, the "female son" surnamed Ye who bumped into Li Xin on horseback was his granddaughter.

This Ye Gongye is a figure of the same generation as Pingnanhou Li Zhijie and Emperor Wu of the Great Jin Dynasty. He is also the only senior in the Jin army who can overwhelm Li Shen. He is the pillar of the country.

The people with ulterior motives mentioned by the Seventh Prince refer to the adherents of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. If the Dajin and the Li family fight to the death, there may be turmoil in the North. With the current national strength of the Dajin, it may be able to carry it down, but this After the incident, the Great Jin needed at least two generations of emperors to recuperate before they could restore the scenery of the Chengde Dynasty.

Emperor Chengde squinted his eyes, and said with a chuckle: "Nanjiang does not have the imperial surname, and you know this in your heart. This is something that no one can tolerate. How can you bear it?"

This is a matter of national policy, and it may also be related to the candidates for future successors. His Royal Highness King Wei saw sweat on his forehead, and finally gritted his teeth hard.

"If you can't bear it, you have to bear it!"

The Seventh Prince said in a deep voice: "If you don't wait for the opportunity to act rashly, it is very likely that the end of the country will be overthrown. My son thinks that this matter must wait for the time. If you force it, even if you succeed for a while, there will be endless troubles! "

In the Great Jin Dynasty, from Emperor Wu to Emperor Chengde, two generations of emperors endured southern Xinjiang for 30 years. Since his father and ancestors had already given the answer, Ji Wen naturally would not hold his neck high and act dumbfounded.

Emperor Chengde took a deep breath, nodded and said: "You are right, if there is no suitable opportunity, it is indeed not easy to touch Southern Xinjiang."

The emperor stood up from the soft couch, with his hands behind his back, and said quietly: "It's just that this opportunity didn't come by waiting. If we insist on waiting, we can only wait for that stupid son of Li Shen, Li Chun, to take the throne. Maybe I can find a chance, but Li Shen's health is very good, I probably won't survive him."

Chengde Emperor and Li Shen played together since they were young, and they got used to joking with each other when they were young. After growing up, Li Shen did not dare to be presumptuous in front of the Emperor, but Chengde Emperor still called Li Shen "this guy, this fellow".

Ji Wen immediately bowed his head and said, "Father, the emperor's life is boundless!"

Emperor Chengde sneered: "If I really want to live forever, you debt collectors, why don't you eat me alive?"

Ji Wen was so frightened that she fell to her knees on the ground, kowtowed and said, "I dare not!"
