Born short-lived

Over a month passed in a daze in Donghai, but at this time a battle report was sent from the foot of the Yin Mountain in Northern Xinjiang, and it spread all over the country in a blink of an eye.

The messengers had the northern flags tied on their backs, and they drove so fast that everyone on the straight road would have to detour when they saw it.

"The people of Sha'an have retreated!!"

With the sound of horseshoes, the news quickly spread from the northern border to Huajing. It was widely spread, and within five days, it became a hot news in the entire land of Huaxu.

Sha'an Rakshasa, who has been lingering in the northern border of Huaxu for more than half a year, has finally retreated. Although people in the market know it but don't know why, these people in the market are the most imaginative, and they entertain themselves when they have nothing to do. Countless versions have been compiled, such as the prince leading the army invincible, the corpses of the people in Sha'an where the iron hooves step on, the coach of Sha'an entrusting himself with the consequences, and the most exaggerated thing is that the black spirit can only rely on 36 Tiangang Lingwu Crush Sha'an's [-] troops...

However, at the end of the day, apart from the fact that this kind of matter is more important to the authorities, other people really don't care much about it.

The Jinluan Hall in Huajing City was ebullient for a long time because of the battle report of this great victory. The court trains seldom came so neatly, and the empress was also seldom sincerely happy for a while.

Loyal ministers congratulated each other, and the queen was also in high spirits, and summoned the soldier from the north to the hall on a whim.

Xiao Bing had never even crossed the threshold of the Golden Luan Hall in his life, and now when the Queen called him to the hall, he who had never been afraid to fight against the Sha'an people couldn't help feeling terrified.

The little soldier didn't dare to delay for a moment, and rushed to the Jinluan Hall quickly. The father-in-law who passed the decree followed behind, panting, and shouted in a broken voice: "Hey! Slow down!"

The little soldier must have never seen such a high threshold of the Golden Luan Hall. He was stunned for a moment when he first saw it, and then he realized that he knelt down in front of the threshold with a plop, and respectfully paid a respectful salute. With his head arched, he went up the hall cautiously.

He didn't dare to look directly at Tianyan, and stared nervously at the stone bricks on the floor of the hall: "The villain sees Your Majesty! Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

The queen nodded with a smile, and waved her hand lightly: "Okay, let's talk about the situation in the northern border."

The meaning of this sentence is of course, brag to us how my son led you to beat up the Shaan dog thief.

The little soldier didn't think too much, and came out in one breath: "His Royal Highness led troops to attack the enemy's right wing, and then went all the way north to capture Gubeikou. The people of Sha'an saw that the retreat route in northern Xinjiang was about to be blocked. We have not yet crossed Yinshan Mountain." It's time to leave."

The queen laughed, clapped her palms and praised: "Good! I want to reward you heavily! The Minister of the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Officials!"

The two old men hurriedly brushed their hems, and stood out from the train tremblingly: "The old minister is here."

The queen is in a good mood: "Remember, the defenders of the northern border have meritorious service in repelling the enemy. All the troops participating in the war will be paid a [-]% increase every year for five years. wait."

Hubu Shangshu shook his hand——an army of tens of thousands of people, according to such a reward method, how much would it cost...

After all, the people in the Ministry of Officials were shrewd, knowing that the Empress was in high spirits at this time, and could not tolerate others pouring cold water on her, so they simply followed suit and said, "My emperor is wise!"

The empress rolled her lips and smiled, squinting at the Minister of the Ministry of Accounting: "What's wrong with the Ministry of Accounting? What's wrong?"

The old man was frightened and hurriedly said: "No... nothing wrong, my emperor is wise!"

The empress looked at him with a half-smile and nodded, then opened her mouth quietly and said: "There is one more thing, the prince has managed the army well this time, and he has made great achievements in leading the army to defeat the enemy. In addition, the son of the Zhuo family is still young, and he has an embarrassing task, I think... the crown prince should temporarily take over the power to control the soldiers and horses in the northern border."

There was a sudden silence in the hall.

This passage focuses on the latter sentence "The prince will temporarily take over the power to control the soldiers and horses of northern Xinjiang"-this is much more valuable than any house and land, which is equivalent to the empress giving the prince in disguise the northern border.

Now Donghai is already the crown prince's people, and Luo Geng, the vice general of Donghai in Nanjiang, is in charge of the overall situation. If Beijiang falls into the prince's pocket again...then the rest of the royal heirs will have no room to mediate.

Jiang Kun was horrified, thinking that the last thing he wanted to see happened after all.In the past six months, he has tried his best to detain Northern Xinjiang's food and spiritual supplies, just hoping that the prince will not win so beautifully.But he just couldn't understand how the 20 stragglers cobbled together from all over the northern border repelled hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers in Sha'an within a year—hasn't Sha'an always been known for its bravery?

Of course, this soldier talisman couldn't be given to Dong Sheng so easily, but he couldn't be allowed to say it.Thinking of this, Jiang Kun glanced at his colleagues around him calmly, and happened to meet the same probing eyes of Yan Yushi on the opposite side, so he winked along the way.

Of course Yan Yushi was not that stupid, he didn't want to be Jiang Kun's scapegoat, so he pretended to be nonchalant and turned his eyes away again, Jiang Kun was so angry that he could only stare blankly.

There is no other way, Jiang Kun thought to himself.

"Your Majesty, regarding military power, let's discuss it after Your Highness returns to Beijing..." Just when Jiang Kun was hesitating whether to bite the bullet, Chen Yushi suddenly said so.

As soon as these words came out, the empress turned cold in an instant: "What? Chen Aiqing thinks this is inappropriate?"

The so-called blind man is not afraid of tigers, Chen Yushi has been one-sided all his life, so naturally he doesn't care about that much.In the past, Jiang Kun had eaten a lot of turtles with him, and he never thought that this old guy would help him inadvertently.

Old Master Chen spoke bluntly, and unconsciously slapped the Queen in the face: "This is a serious matter, at least we should first ask His Highness what he means."

It means that if you are happy, others may not be happy.

The empress was furious, and said with a sneer, "Then Chen Aiqing hopes that the prince will agree or not?"

Chen Yushi also knew that the empress was angry when he heard the words, and finally got acquainted, and threw himself on the ground and knelt down: "The old minister is terrified and dare not speculate."

"Afraid?" The Queen snorted, "I still think that Chen Aiqing has always been confrontational, loyal and fearless."

Jiang Kun hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Since Lord Chen is a speech officer, it is inevitable that his remonstrance will be harsh. It's just that the crown prince has worked hard in the war, and he really should return to Beijing for a while to rest. It is His Majesty's value to let His Highness take over the military power in Northern Xinjiang, and His Highness also understands it." It is reasonable, and I will not fail to understand His Majesty's painstaking efforts."

This sentence was obviously more pleasing to the ear, the empress relaxed her expression a little, and knew in her heart that it was not appropriate to be angry with the speaker, so she glanced at Chen Yushi who was kneeling on the ground, and sighed almost inaudibly, her final tone was still Somewhat coldly said: "Chen Aiqing is old, don't keep kneeling, get up, be careful not to flinch."

"...The old minister thanked His Majesty..."

This day's court meeting ended in discord, and the empress was disturbed, so she passed on the chariot and asked a leader to accompany her to the lotus pond.And the more she turned, the more angry she became, thinking of my son's hard work in the war, these "humeral ministers" are so shameless, it's really going to turn the world upside down.

She pulled a face, and the little white face next to her who was hanging shoulders and pinching her legs didn't look at her, but she was not annoyed. She still thought that the empress was missing her son, so she said which pot was not open, and said: "If your majesty thinks about it, Your Highness the Crown Prince, if you recall the Crown Prince, let the Crown Prince accompany His Majesty..."

"Shut up!" The queen scolded coldly, "The prince is busy with the war, do you know how to be considerate?!"

It's a big deal to offend Longyan, this little boy is rarely summoned, but he never expected to see him once, but he would annoy the Queen as soon as he came.

The little white face was terribly frightened, backed a few steps in a panic, and hastily crawled on the ground and kowtowed like garlic: "Your Majesty, calm down, Your Majesty, calm down... villain... villain just thinks that the remote land in the north must be very hard work." , the prince can rest and recuperate when he comes back..."

After the empress lost her temper, she also realized her gaffe—what was she fussing about with this face, besides, this person stayed in the deep palace compound all day long, and she only passed it on to him on a whim, and it probably wouldn't be because of someone's abuse. The reason to say this is probably because there is a lack of string in the mind, and what comes to mind is what to say.

Thinking of this, the queen only sighed, rested her forehead and waved her hand in distraught: "Okay, step back."

The little white face was slightly taken aback, although he went back just a little bit unwillingly, but he didn't dare to say anything more, he answered yes honestly, and walked away dejectedly.

The queen lay alone on the soft couch by the pool, staring at the center of the pool in a trance.With the lessons learned from the past, the court ladies and eunuchs next to her didn't even dare to fart.

But the queen lay there alone and thought for a long time, but she also felt that the little boy's words were not unreasonable.

It is also good to deal with those gossips in the court when you come back, and the crown prince is in the court, the officials should also know how to restrain themselves.Although I originally thought that the northern border was not yet completely stable, Dong Sheng stayed for a while so that he could rest and recuperate, and suffer from the hardships of traveling later, and secondly, it was to give him time to stabilize his foundation in the northern border. To strike while the iron is hot.

But if these old things in court don't shut up, the empress is still uneasy after all.

The queen pondered, waved her sleeves and said, "Come here, I will serve you with pen and ink!"

[The author has something to say: Alright, alright, Jiang Kun is going to start messing around again, what will happen this time... Attention, the abuse warning will be issued, and the abuse will take place for a long time in the future. Everyone, get ready for quick-acting heart-relief pills .
