The Legend of the Long Room in the Red Mansion

Jia She and Jia Lian glared at Yingchun with similar peach blossom eyes, they didn't scare her, but they surprised Daiyu who was sitting behind Yingchun and raised her head to look this way. What he said: "But when big brother Ning gets married and has children sooner or later, won't big brother Ning still have his military exploits? Will he not be afraid of the royal family at that time?"

Ning Shan really wasn't worried about this, he felt that the emperor's memory was not that good, and he couldn't think about the long-term, so he just laughed it off: "If you have done meritorious service and received rewards like before, this matter will be over, and there will be no aftermath." It took so long to take it out to find a later account?"

Xichun didn't quite understand these things, and listened in a daze: "I still don't understand, Brother Ning is the 'God of War', which is recognized by everyone. I heard from Grandma Liu that everyone in their neighborhood knows and Talking about, saying that "God of War" is undefeated, whoever fights wins, why does Uncle Pardon not let Brother Ning go to war? We have enemies again, don't we? Like Qianxiang Kingdom, they are coming to bully us, so why? Don't let big brother Ning beat them back? I don't understand what merits are so high, but I know that the emperor can't fight, and neither can the emperor. They can't find others if they don't want to use big brother Ning. Stupid, just like the former King Nan'an and King Dongping, if you can't win the fight, you will be arrested."

These words hit the nail on the head and pointed out the point - it was useless to guard against Ning Shan, there was no more capable and prestige general than him in Chaoshang now.The four princes and eight princes have long since fallen.Only one of the four major families, Prince Teng, is still a military officer, but it is only accumulated by some small credits such as suppressing bandits, plus the shelter given by his ancestors, but he has never fought in the battlefield, even if the emperor trusts him He, sent him to lead the soldiers, and those soldiers might not be willing to listen to him.

Of course Jia She knew this truth and was very proud of it, but he was still unwilling to let his eldest son out of his sight again.

Jia Lian also doesn't want to experience the feeling of being stepped on by the second wife and political opponents facing upwards. He is very self-aware. At this stage, he is still powerless to fight against the enemies. Whether it is at home or in the court, he can rely on his current glory Ning Shan is all alone.

Before he had absolute power and status, Jia Lian firmly agreed with Jia She's central idea of ​​keeping Ning Shan in front of his eyes. Not only would he not go out to fight, but it would be best not to let it out, and just support him in the capital to show off his power. up.

Sister Feng was the most straightforward: "If you want me to say, the key is to marry Princess Yinghua as soon as possible. If you marry the princess back, the eldest brother may not want to fight in the battlefield anymore. Or maybe, the royal family will look at the princess for the sake of the time." I will never send my eldest brother to fight again. After all..." Sister Feng suddenly covered her mouth, she almost said that the royal family would not see the princess as a widow.If these words were spoken out, no one else would argue for the time being, Jia She alone could eat her alive.

Jia Amnesty jumped up from the ground, his agility did not match his age at all, he pointed his left hand at Mrs. Xing, and waved his right hand, as if commanding thousands of troops: "You, now hand over the sign and enter the palace to see the queen." I'm going to beg the Supreme Emperor, Lian'er, see if you have any useful contacts who can convey a message in front of the emperor, and I will also beg, let him issue an imperial decree to marry Princess Yinghua over earlier."

The old God Ning Shan was watching their father and son holding hands, with firm belief, striding forward with sonorous and powerful strides on the road of hardships, determined in his heart, no matter whether it was in the northern Xinjiang or the southwest, he would not fight again, whoever It is impossible to marry Princess Yinghua.

Yingchun watched Sister Feng serve Mrs. Xing when she went back to change her imperial clothes, and was about to enter the palace to ask to see the queen, or the concubine Zhen Taigui—now it doesn’t matter about seniority, friendship or friendship, who can persuade the emperor to marry Princess Yinghua I just go to burn someone's incense - my heart is full of worries.With so many postings before, the chances of being allowed to enter the palace are very small, so if you act hastily now, what good results can you get?

However, there is no other way to do this. The whole family, no matter whether they are masters or slaves, counts as one, and no one is willing to let Ning Shan go out again.Song Ping, the old steward of the Ning Mansion, even came to cry with the tablets of the old Hou Ye and the old lady, begging Ning Shan to marry and have a child in the city as soon as possible, so as to continue the Ning family's lineage, but it was of no use.

Song Ping originally hoped that the old man would be decent enough to persuade his master, but the result was the same. At that moment, Song Ping gave up all hope in Jia Amnesty.This is unreliable, instead of counting on him, he might as well hold the tablet and continue crying.

The next day, when Ning Shan went to court, Ning Shan made persistent efforts to invite Yingying to fight in the southwest. The Supreme Emperor began to hesitate, and the emperor was still thinking hard about who is leading the army in the southwest.

Jia Amnesty’s request to see the Supreme Emperor and Mrs. Xing’s request to see the Empress were both rejected within reason, but Jia Amnesty was very firm and kept sending them. As long as he was not approved, he was ready to persevere, Mrs. Xing Forced to persevere.

The only thing that pleased Jia Amnesty was that in the court, King Beijing kept admonishing the emperor that King Dongping should be transferred back to the southwest again to secure the frontier.But the problem now is that the king of Dongping himself has died in northern Xinjiang. I don’t know if it’s for the sake of face or to prove that he is no worse than Ning Shan. Anyway, no matter how many pigeons the king of Beijing gives him, he just refuses to hand it over. An application for returning to Beijing or directly entering the Southwest Camp.

King Bei Jing was so angry that he could hardly maintain his demeanor as a virtuous king. He attacked Ning Shan sharply day by day, and Ning Shan didn't even bother to come forward to tear him apart. Jia She, Jia Lian Both father and son are eligible to attend the Grand Court Meeting, two against one, and they might not be able to defeat the King of Beijing.Anyway, the alliance of interests of the four kings and eight males has long existed in name only, and there is no pressure at all to tear up the face completely.During the half-month-long confrontation, all civil servants and military generals who were eligible to go to court were forced to testify that Jia Amnesty's generous title was not a slander.

The two emperors also suffered from different degrees of migraine due to the quarrel, and had to immediately decide who to fight in the Southwest—none of them considered whether they should send a scout to see if the situation in the Southwest was as stated in the booklet. so serious.After all, in order to shirk their responsibilities, the big officials in the feudal borders would exaggerate small problems into major situations, so that it would be convenient for them to claim credit or excuse them in the future.

Ning Shan was incomparably surprised at the military ignorance of the two emperors, but he didn't need to point it out, wouldn't his position be unstable if he put it bluntly? !Let their father and son continue to live in blissful ignorance!

As the disputes in the court became more and more fierce, the two emperors began to hesitate. The Supreme Emperor was not too afraid of Ning Shan's military power, but the Emperor was a little unwilling to let Ning Shan make another military exploit.As Ning Shan's contribution increased, his position on the throne became more and more unstable.

Especially after Princess Yinghua was accused of marrying, the emperor clearly felt that the Supreme Emperor relied more and more on Ning Shan, and Ning Shan did not drift away from the court like she did when she just returned to Beijing, but began to quietly expand her power .When the emperor came back to his senses, he found that Ning Shan's footprints were everywhere from the Ministry of War to the Ministry of Households, then to the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Punishment, together with the imperial army and the capital camp.

His power has already spanned four parts, and there is still a tendency to continue to expand!

The emperor was horrified to find that even the few small forces attached to Ning Shan were slowly gaining a foothold.

The one who bears the brunt is his younger brother, Jia Lian, who has gradually adapted to the environment of the household department, and has occupied an important position by virtue of his shrewd mind and acrobatic skills;

The positions of Jia Zhen, father and son in the Eastern Mansion are not that important, but they have too many opportunities to show their faces in front of the Supreme Emperor, and they can speak up from time to time, especially when it comes to passing news, these three people are very convenient to use.Many transactions between Ning Shan and the Supreme Emperor that could not be kept on the table were done in private through these three;

The historian's Bowlinghou is not a great figure, but Jingzhonghou Shi Ding is a real capable minister. Since he took Ningshan's path and became a provincial official, he has been in trouble in his tenure, especially , his province is not far from the southwest border.This is not a good thing at the moment.

The emperor suspected that once Ning Shan was sent to the southwest, Shi Ding would collude with him and plot against Beijing.

Ning Shan strongly suspects that the woman from the Qianxiang country reminded the emperor of this assumption, because judging from his past behavior, he does not seem like a person with such a keen political vision.

As for Wang Ziteng who broke up with Ning Shan early on because of the repayment, he is one of the candidates that the emperor wants to value at the moment, after all, he still holds a military post.However, the Supreme Emperor has long since distrusted this scumbag, otherwise he would not have been dismissed from the important position of the Jingying Jiedu envoy at the beginning. Teng has to be more loyal.

As for the Minister of the Household Department, the person who was originally the Supreme Emperor, since Ning Shan was also regarded as the person of the Supreme Emperor, the two of them seemed to be working together to contract the Household Department.Although Ning Shan left later, Jia Lian took the space left, and she was also a fellow with Qian Jin.The emperor was very indignant about this. After all, the household department is a money bag, and what he lacks most is money.

Although there is a shortage of people now, the emperor firmly believes that this is also caused by the lack of money. In the emperor's mind, the two most important things to buy a confidant are power and money, but he has neither of them. This is a ghost!It was not very useful to get the mineral distribution map of Qianxiang Kingdom later. After all, those mines had to be mined by people, and more than half of the mining team had to pass through the navy's defense area.And the navy was established by Ning Shan, so it is conceivable how much gray income will flow into the navy's military account.

On the contrary, the cost of throwing food and grass in the Northern Xinjiang camp was not too high. King Dongping spent all his money and used his coffin money to march northward, vowing to fight to the death with the grassland nomadic tribes, or in other words, he wanted to fight with Ning Shan's illustrious military exploits and legends left behind in northern Xinjiang were smashed to the end.

And Ning Shan sent the new type of grain grown from Qianxiang Kingdom to northern Xinjiang early in the morning, and the soldiers and border villagers planted it together, and the harvest was quite rich. Prepare for the needs of famine years.

However, at the behest of Ning Shan, the honest-looking Old General Li not only didn't report a single word to Beijing, but asked Beijing for money, soldiers, horses, food and grass every month. ——King Dongping is still tossing there, if they don't prepare reinforcements, who will take over this mess?

The emperor had no choice but to cut the meat with pain, and kept sending horses, grain, weapons and armor to northern Xinjiang. After Old General Li received them, except for some of them to equip his own team, the rest were sent to Haijiang for Ningshan's two brothers. A lieutenant general trains troops.

The two lieutenants, Li Dahai and Yunhai, were not idle either. They used the sea area from the Haijiang camp to the original Qianxiang country as their territory to continuously strengthen the training of the newly formed navy. Foreign bandits, not only Zhenzhen country was beaten to pieces, but Ryukyu and Nanyang, which are farther away, were also marked by them as a visit.

At the same time, the territory of the original Qianxiang country was also taken over by Ningshan's navy. Although a large part of the people living there were civilians and businessmen from the original Qianxiang country, with the arrival of the military households in the coastal areas, some people near the sea The fishermen of Daxing and other poor people who did not have their own land also ventured out to the sea to occupy a part of their own land in Qianxiang country.In this way, Ning Shan quietly transferred about half of the people and military households in the coastal areas to the territory of the former Qianxiang country, laying the foundation for the establishment of her own overseas power.

As more and more armaments were sent to northern Xinjiang, the Minister of the Household Department cried to the emperor several times about the deficit in the book, and he had no money to supply him. Send Ning Shan to the northern border and come back with a big victory. The most important thing is that if you win a big victory, you can get tribute from the losing side, and you can also plunder some treasures from the grassland tribe royal court.

The emperor was about to go crazy.

Not to mention the Emperor's displeasure, but Ning Shan's own displeasure. The unrest in northern Xinjiang is all caused by King Dongping himself, and the grassland tribes don't want to go to war with him at all.And Ning Shan is not willing to plow the army that she has firmly grasped again, because it will not gain any benefit except wasting time and experience.

He still wants to subdue the team in the Southwest Border Region. You must know that Dongping Wang’s lineage has been running there for three or four generations. It is not an easy task to completely control it. Ning Shan always likes to set up challenges for herself. Target.

The Supreme Emperor didn't like Ning Shan's going to the northern border for no other reason, but because he was too far away from there. If he went deeper, he would fight for at least a year. The Supreme Emperor was eager to snatch part of the military power from the Emperor, and always thought the sooner the better. , compared with the grasslands of northern Xinjiang, the southwest border area is much closer, and the scope is also small, so it is easy to win in one battle.

The Supreme Emperor thought, if King Dongping, that coward who can't handle the grassland tribes, can easily hold the southwest, then Ning Shan will only gain power faster if he goes.This is in line with the purpose of the emperor not wanting Ning Shan to go to the southwest, but no matter how unwilling the emperor is, it is useless. If Ning Shan refuses to contribute, even if he is sent to the northern border, it will be nothing more than a fight. Huang'er came back, but that didn't help.

In the final analysis, what the emperor loves most is the money spent on armaments.No matter which side to fight, in short, it is better to pay him a large sum of tribute.

The Supreme Emperor is devoted to power, the Emperor is devoted to money, and Ning Shan wants to kill two birds with one stone and accumulate power for herself.Princess Yinghua was more straightforward. She made the harem so angry and people complained, and finally got the imperial decree that both the emperor and the emperor had to compromise--Ning Shan can get married first, and then go to war.

Originally, there were many concubines in the family of a military general, and the dowry of the daughter-in-law automatically became the custom of the general house, which is different from the style of Qingliu literati who often only guard their wives, one at most two or three housemaids, because the generals have the risk of dying in battle , so the more women around you, the more children you may leave behind.Jia Amnesty used this reason to beg the Supreme Emperor to marry Princess Yinghua as soon as possible.

With the support of a reliable eldest son, and Jia Zhen, a nephew who is good at making money, still has three points of dignity in front of the Supreme Emperor, Jia Amnesty threatened the Supreme Emperor disrespectfully, saying: "If you still refuse to let the princess marry, I will have no choice but to marry you." The big treason first rewarded a few concubines to the eldest son of this humble official, you know, he is carrying the hope of the Ning clan whose blood is about to be cut off."

The Supreme Emperor doesn't care about a daughter who doesn't like him at all - what will happen to Princess Yinghua's life after she gets married, and of course she doesn't care whether the concubine has a concubine, whether she will hit the princess in the face, Let her lose face.But in his heart, he still wanted to use the name of Princess Yinghua to do a few more important things. In his selfish and dark plan, Ning Shan's life and descendants held a very important weight.

On the one hand, the emperor is reluctant to part with Ning Shan's general talent, and he also knows in his heart that there is no one in the court who can replace Ning Shan; Long, his strength in the court will inevitably be greatly damaged.Fortunately, at this stage, although Ning Shan seems to be more respectful to the Supreme Emperor, she is not [-]% buying his face. The attitude of refusing to accept rewards several times and almost threatening to let the princess marry early made the Supreme Emperor feel dissatisfied. When the words reached the emperor's ears, it immediately proved that Ning Shan did not actually take refuge in the Supreme Emperor.
