Chapter 77 The Red Mansion Xie Queen

Under normal circumstances, it is easier to give up than to hold on.For being an emperor, it is easier to be a fool than a wise one.

Of course, Situ Min has not yet reached the level of a faint king. He knows that power is his foundation, so he can still do a good job in the matter of diligence. However, the world is peaceful, even if there are occasional minor natural disasters , is also inevitable, so Situ Min is getting more and more experienced in spending money and enjoying himself now!The Shanglin Garden was repaired, the imperial palace was expanded, and the Taiye Pond was cleaned up. In order to avoid the summer heat, they planned to build a summer palace in Lishan outside the city.In short, construction sites can be seen everywhere near Chang'an. Although there is no corvee or anything, there is money to hire hired workers. If they are long-term workers, they must provide at least two meals. Therefore, the annual cost of money and food is just An exaggerated number, Hubu Shangshu couldn't help but want to retire!

Here, money like flowing water was spent, and Bei Rong also started to join in the fun over there.When the dynasty was changed, Beirong was also in the midst of civil strife. Beirong used to have a royal court, but the king of Rong died suddenly. Originally, according to the tradition of Beirong, the youngest son should succeed to the throne, but, the little one The prince is still young, and he was not born to the concubine Rong Wang. He was questioned as having a bad bloodline. Moreover, being young means that he is not strong enough. Therefore, the little prince here has not had time to get the support of several nobles in the royal court, so he was directly rejected. Assassinated.

After that, several princes of King Rong started to argue, and even the brothers of King Rong felt that they had the ability to fight.When the Central Plains passed on the throne, they had to put on a layer of orthodox fig leaf, but in a place like Beirong, it was a naked jungle of the weak, and whoever had a strong army would have a better chance.

Therefore, the chaos on the Beibei side lasted for a long time, and finally completely split up. When it barely calmed down, the overall situation in the Central Plains was already settled. What conflicts with Dajing.

In the past few years, the situation in Beirong seems to have changed. The most important thing is that Beirong encountered a snow disaster in winter, and a large number of cattle and sheep were frozen to death. When the snow melted into streams, spring rain bursts At that time, the plague was caused by the accumulation of cattle and sheep corpses, even those surviving cattle and sheep were also infected, and many low-level herdsmen also suffered.In order to solve the problem of the plague, everyone had to find a place to burn the cattle, sheep and the corpses of the herdsmen who were infected with the plague, and then found that their family had suffered heavy losses and it was difficult to maintain it!

The ecological economy of the nomadic people is much weaker than that of the farming people. If such a thing happens, if they cannot make up for the loss from other places, then many tribes will really not be able to sustain it.

Originally, these tribes robbed their neighbors first, but everyone is in the same situation now, but Beirong has produced a relatively strong leader in recent years. The leader, Huimeng, said that in the current situation on the grassland, if everyone kills each other and finds out in the Central Plains, it will only make them fight harder, and eventually they will be taken advantage of by the Central Plains people.

So, although our side was affected by the disaster, there is no problem in the Central Plains. Why don't we form a group to grab one?

If you don't have one, then grab it. This is also the nature of the Beirong people. In other words, these nomads have come here for generations. Especially, the grassland is extremely wide. Since ancient times, the Central Plains army that can penetrate into the grassland There are really not many, and if you don’t pay attention, you will get lost. Therefore, if you grab a big ticket and return to the grassland early, those Han people in the Central Plains will not be able to chase after them!

A group of tribal leaders got together to discuss it, and felt that this was indeed a good idea. Everyone is short of food now, and the cheese and milk produced by the cows, sheep and horses can’t last long. As for killing meat and so on, Don't even think about it. Under normal circumstances, even the tribal leaders can't eat meat as they like. The staple food is all kinds of dried cheese and milk. In this situation, meat can't be eaten, and these cattle and sheep have to be let go. It takes two years to recover the same number after two years of breeding, and this still needs to be done without any natural or man-made disasters.

As for those who rob other tribes, you have to be prepared to be targeted by other tribes, who knows what will happen in the end.

In comparison, the Central Plains side is much easier to deal with, and everyone can unite to make a few big votes.

For the Central Plains, the Beirong people are extremely greedy. Compared with the grasslands, the lives of the Central Plains people are much easier. They don't need to keep migrating with the aquatic plants, and they can get enough food by farming. The Beirong people used to want to learn how to farm, but their farming skills are not good, and the rainfall is not enough. Those millet and wheat can't grow up to compete with the various pastures native to the grassland. Therefore, the yield is really low. It was terrible, so after trying, everyone gave up.

In the eyes of most Beirong people, the Central Plains symbolizes inexhaustible food, comfortable fabrics, strong iron pots, and various exquisite utensils. In short, everything is very beautiful!Therefore, after making up their minds, each of them formed an alliance with insufficient blood. When they turned around, they killed some of the rams and bulls in the clan and made them into dried meat, which was used as rations for the soldiers, and then they gathered together and went south.

The imperial court has not had many confrontations with Beirong for a long time. Although the Xining County King sits in the northwest all year round, in fact, he spends more time doing business. The northwest side is from some big food in the west. Merchants have sold the special products of the Central Plains to the West through the Silk Road all the year round, and similarly, they have also transported special products such as gems and spices from the West to the Central Plains. The Pingan Prefecture guarded by the king of Xining County is almost the only way for these businessmen to pass through. road.Although the imperial court also set up tax collectors here, the Prince's Mansion of Xining County, as a local snake, enjoyed a lot of money.

Compared with those merchants from the far west, there are not many normal contacts with Beirong in Pingan Prefecture. More caravans are used to going deep into the grasslands to sell tea bricks, cloth, Even ironware, there are many taboos here, so generally you can't go out through the normal pass, you have to take a detour.

In any case, Ping'an Prefecture is considered a hard persimmon, so the Beirong people did not go south from here at all. Instead, they made a big circle and ran to a place close to Liaodong, entering the customs from Youzhou!

A large part of the imperial court's annual military expenditure is spent on the various passes in the north to defend against the invasion of the Beirong people. There is no way to fight against these peoples on the grassland. Most of the time, it is thankless. You won it. , and it is not easy to immigrate to the grassland, and in the end, we still have to watch helplessly after more than ten or twenty years, and a new group of grassland people will flourish.

Over the years, these Beirong people often go south to fight for the autumn harvest, grab some food and ironware and leave. Sometimes, these frontier soldiers can catch up with them, and sometimes they can catch up with them. No, fortunately, Beirong people did not dare to go deep.

As for the place close to the border, many of the people living here are criminals who were exiled here and their descendants, and the folk customs are quite tough. Most of the time, the losses are within an acceptable range.Of course, the most important thing is that these Beirong people also know that you can't catch a sheep with wool, and you can't stare at one place when you hit the grass.Therefore, it will be ransacked by the Beirong people every seven or eight years or even longer, but they can pay less taxes. For the local people, it is quite cost-effective.

Originally, the frontier army thought it was another grassland attack. It was not until the Beirong army approached that everyone realized that the problem was serious. Nothing major happened in these years, and the border defense was a little lax. Therefore, the Youzhou side reluctantly persisted. In less than three days, the pass was breached, and the Beirong army drove straight in.

There was a lot of smoke at the border, and the urgent military report from eight hundred miles quickly spread to Chang'an, Situ Min was so angry that he flew into a rage.

The Dajing Dynasty has not encountered a war for nearly 30 years. The last war was when the first emperor ruled the Central Plains. Fortunately, there are still a few veterans who have survived. , but still has a lot of experience in war, so Situ Min will not be caught off guard, and he doesn't know what to do.

Soon, Dajing had launched his own war machine, assembled an army, and headed towards Youzhou.This is only the vanguard, and a large number of troops will be mobilized later.

Beirong didn't expect it to be so smooth at all. Originally, they just wanted to get a good ticket and leave, but after entering the hinterland of Youzhou, they suddenly became greedy. Why can't they rule the Central Plains like their ancestors? What about the colorful world!In the eyes of the Central Plains people, Youzhou, which is considered to be relatively bitter and cold, is already so prosperous and rich. Then, what kind of paradise will it be further south!

A group of Beirong people were robbed of red eyes. Fortunately, the leaders above remained somewhat sober. They did not attack the city, but looted everywhere, using part of the robbed food as military rations, and some They were directly transported back to the grassland to supply the old and the weak who stayed on the grassland, so that they could use the food to reproduce the tribe's cattle and sheep. After all, they always have to leave a way out for their own family.

Before these Beirong people could leave Youzhou, Dajing's army arrived.

The older generation can no longer fight, so the only ones who can fight are the younger generation.Jia Yan passed away a few years ago, and Jia Yuan is just dying in these few years.Two years ago, he wrote in the paper that he wanted Jia Daishan to inherit the title. Of course, the title of Duke Rong of the Jia family is not hereditary, so even if Situ Min looked at Jia Daishan differently, what Jia Daishan inherited was honor. The same is true for Jia Daihua, who inherited the title of Marquis Ning.

This time, Beirong's invasion of the border was a headache for the court, but it was a carnival for the nobles. Like Jia Daishan, the world was not peaceful when he was born, so, When I was young, I started to learn riding and archery, learning the art of war, in order to be able to display my abilities on the battlefield and continue the glory of the family.But after they have learned their skills, the world is already peaceful, and they can only fight for their own interests in the court like those civil servants.

This is an opportunity. The nobles feel that they need to let the court know that even if the Central Plains is peaceful, Dajing still has enemies. Whether it is Beirong, Tubo in the west, or those small countries in the southeast, they are always You are eyeing the Central Plains, so, my lord, don't think that there is no room for generals now!

It can be said that in this battle, the nobles rarely worked together, and they needed to let the court see their value.

Jia Daishan was the vanguard, he was the first to go out, so he was also the first to meet the vanguard of Beirong.When Jia Daishan was young, he heard Jia Yuan talk about many things on the battlefield, followed Jia Yuan to deduce the war on the sand table, and even led the men from the camp in the suburbs of Beijing to suppress bandits. He hadn't encountered it before, but just thinking about it made him excited from the bottom of his heart.

In a sense, some people are born to belong to the battlefield, Jia Daishan is such a person, he has an intuition beyond ordinary people.For example, Jia Yuanjia played them without any serious military education. When he joined the army, he actually relied on experience and a desperate drive. When it was Jia Daishan's turn, he had the experience of his father's generation. On the other hand, he has really received a relatively systematic education in the art of war and warfare, and he has read a lot of military books since he was a child.If he was asked to read the Four Books and Five Classics, the more he read, the more sleepy he would be, but Jia Daishan became more and more excited about books such as the art of war and strategy.

In the past, he could be said to be just talking on paper, but now, when he met the Beirong people, his talent was truly revealed.

Jia Daishan won the first battle here, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief after the news of the victory came back to the capital.Dajing and Beirong did not have much conflict before, but in the previous dynasty, there would be a relatively large battle with Beirong almost every few decades or so.The previous dynasty also paid a lot of price in order to keep Bei Rong away from the northern passes.Even so, there are winners and losers. The most dangerous time, Bei Rong's army almost went deep into the hinterland of the Central Plains. It was also from that time that the previous dynasty turned from prosperity to decline.Because Beirong brought great damage to the Central Plains that time, and in order to drive the Beirong people out of the Central Plains, the former imperial court was in a hurry to seek medical treatment and allowed the local leaders to summon Xiangyong to fight against Beirong.This also led to some local officials having a certain strength, and the central side naturally couldn't control it.

It was not long before the fall of the previous dynasty, and there are still historical records from that time, so everyone is still very worried whether the Beirong people want to do it again.

Fortunately, it didn't take long before the news from the grassland finally came, and everyone understood why the Beirong people went south directly in spring this time. It turned out that there was a disturbance on the grassland before, which led them to unite and want to It is necessary to plunder a sum of supplies from the Central Plains to recover their losses and strengthen their own tribe.

Situ Min was very angry. The imperial court had nine passes in the north, known as the Nine Borders. In addition to keeping the Beirong people out of the country, they were also responsible for monitoring the movements of the Beirong people. As a result, what did they do with such a big news? I don't even know, I didn't realize it until the Beirong people came to the door. It would be a joke if I really pinned all my hopes on them!

Most of Situ Min's anger was actually directed at the Prince of Xining. The old King of Xining finally passed away. Originally, according to the rules, the successor King of Xining, Jin Yongye, had to return to Beijing to observe his filial piety, but the Jin family didn't agree at all. Situ Min was extremely annoyed that he had no intention of going back to Beijing and stayed in Ping'an Prefecture.This time something went wrong, Situ Min naturally wanted to take the opportunity to cut the military power of the King of Xining.

Jin Yongye is also at a loss. The Jin family has been busy earning money these years. Although the subordinates have not relaxed the matter of raising troops, it is just that. He didn't notice the movement on the grassland. No matter how much Jin Yongye argued, he couldn't deny the fact that he had neglected his duty when something went wrong.Now I can only hope that the Beirong people will not cause too much trouble in the Central Plains. If the problem becomes serious, it will not only be a matter of cutting military power, but even the title of title will be lost.

Fortunately, the war went smoothly, mainly because the Beirong side divided their troops. After all, two 10,000+ people looted a place together, and the things everyone got were naturally divided!There are a group of old and weak women and children behind each tribe, and many livestock are waiting to fill their stomachs. If the spoils are divided equally, it is not cost-effective to transport them back, and the consumption on the way is enough.

Therefore, they quickly divided their troops to plunder in different directions. The Beirong people did not want to waste their troops attacking the city. Even though there may be many good things in the city, after they divided their troops, they obviously did not have enough strength to break through the city. It is better to plunder the countryside. Well, although the harvest is less, it can also reduce a lot of casualties.After all, those towns and villages didn't have any armed forces, and the sharpest weapons were probably kitchen knives and axes, and ordinary people obviously couldn't fight against cavalry.But there was no order from the imperial court, and the local officials couldn't make up their minds to fortify the wall and clear the country, so they could only persuade the people to hide.

Those common people couldn't take much with them when they fled, but ordinary people couldn't hide all their things, and they were reluctant to destroy them, so these naturally fell into the hands of the Beirong people.The Beirong people almost never refuse anyone, they want everything.

After the army came over, they were able to require the local people to implement the policy of strengthening the walls and clearing the wild for strategic needs. Anyway, even if you are reluctant to destroy it, it will fall into the hands of the Beirong people. It can be said that these Beirong people are forced to fight the army. up.Those small groups of Beirong cavalry were no match for the army at all, so soon the Beibei began to gather.They felt that the journey was going very smoothly. If they could break through the army of the Central Plains, the Central Plains would truly open their doors to them. Therefore, they finally thought of a decisive battle.

Although the number of cavalry in the Central Plains is small, they have accumulated a lot of experience and summed up a lot of tactics in fighting the northern nomads over the years. There are many, and they can also continuously provide logistical support for the army. Obviously, the Beirong people can only eat while grabbing. They transported too many supplies back to the grassland, so the rations left by themselves are actually Very few, all counting on continuing to grab it!

It is conceivable that after several encounters, the Beirong people on the one hand lost a lot of staff, and on the other hand, their rations were also somewhat unsustainable. After a group of leaders thought about it, it was obviously impossible to continue going south, so find someone Direction, grab another big one, and then return to the grassland!Based on their understanding of the Central Plains, if they turn their heads and bow their heads and admit defeat, the Central Plains will not be chasing after them!If you don't listen, you will open a market for mutual market.

After having such an idea, the Beirong people also slipped away very quickly. They fled directly to the northwest, making Dajing almost think that they wanted to threaten Guanzhong, so they had to divide their troops to block Beirong from the west. Putting aside the road going south, the Beirong people were given enough time to successfully evacuate the Central Plains with the plundered spoils and run back out of the mouth.

Now is the time when water and grass are luxuriant on the grassland. At this time, it is also the easiest time to get lost, because there is a piece of green everywhere, and there is no trace of the road at all. It is impossible to pursue it in depth. So, in a sense Well, the Beirong people have achieved their strategic goals this time, and they didn't lose at all.Although the imperial court has won successive victories, it has not really caused many deaths and injuries to the Beirong people, which makes a group of honorable generals who have already risen to the top a little bit unsatisfied.

But for Situ Min, obviously, this is enough. The army is out, which makes him a little worried. Therefore, he just ordered the Nine Sides to continue to monitor the movement of the Beirong, and then ordered the army to return to the court, and then discuss meritorious deeds Rewarded!Those who are promoted are promoted, those who enter the ranks are awarded gold, silver and jewels, and those who should be rewarded with gold, silver and jewels. In short, military merits cannot be omitted.

Then Situ Min encountered a more embarrassing situation. The national inventory of silver was a bit insufficient. If the salt tax and food tax in the first half of the year hadn't happened to be levied, it would not be enough to reward meritorious soldiers!

It was only then that Situ Min realized that he had spent too much money in the past two years, and he needed to stop for a while. The Shanglin Garden was almost finished, so it could continue. Situ Min felt that the other places could only be shelved for the time being. , Wait until you have money later!

Then, on the issue of Beirong, Situ Min hesitated a little. Originally, he thought that in the autumn, he would order someone to lead an army to attack Beirong and teach them a lesson, but Beirong felt very good. Not long after they withdrew, they sent envoys to express their demands for peace!

There are also talents in Beirong. Some Han people who ran over from the Central Plains wrote the national script in a colorful way. The central meaning is only one, that is, to sell miserably and cry poorly. They didn't want to go south to plunder.Sheng Tianzi, you can also understand us poor people, so, can you ask Sheng Tianzi to open the market and implement the mutual market like in the previous dynasty?As long as the Holy Son of Heaven agrees to trade with each other, then the people of Beirong will definitely be grateful to you, the Holy Son of Heaven, and beg to the Changshengtian for your wealth and longevity!

Some flattery is very much to Situ Min's appetite, but if it's really that simple, it's just as these Beirong people want, and when these Beirong people encounter natural and man-made disasters, they just want to go to the Central Plains to recover their losses. Doesn't it make people think that Da Jing is being taken advantage of?

But the problem is, going deep into the grassland or something, the military expenditure is not enough!There are not enough Dajing cavalry, so there is a lot of pressure on the logistics. It is necessary to work on an expedition, and to recruit civilians to deliver food, and to ensure that there are no problems with the logistics line. Situ Min is now a man who has gone through a war. Just guarantee The logistics supply in Youzhou has already made the household department very difficult. Youzhou has encountered the invasion of Beirong. This year's land tax will definitely not be collected, and the imperial court will have to subsidize it. These are all money!This time, Situ Min regretted that he had let himself go too much in the past few years, so that he spent too much.Now those generals are shouting to go out of the fortress, to teach Beirong a hard lesson, the household department can't wait to roll on their knees, if they want money, they will die!

Situ Xian has now started to go to the court to listen to the government. He hesitated for a moment and made a suggestion, saying: "Father, since the Beirong people want to open a market and open a mutual market, this is naturally possible. However, the commodities in the mutual market , you can add one item!"

Situ Min frowned, and asked: "Then the crown prince, let's talk about it!"

Situ Xian said directly: "Bei Rong suffered a disaster before. Although it was plundered in Youzhou, there should still be a certain gap in the food supply. At most, it is the kind that needs to be patient and can get through it! Why don't the court pay for it?" For food, ask the various Beirong tribes to hire laborers, and hire laborers for ten or eight years at a time, and the Beirong tribe usually has many slaves under their hands, and they probably don't mind exchanging these slaves for money and food!"

After Situ Xian said this, some people with more sensitive minds understood the meaning. The court needed too many manpower, such as dredging rivers, building city walls, and many royal projects. For example, when Situ Min ascended the throne, He has already started to build his own imperial mausoleum, and a part of the fiscal revenue is invested in the construction of the imperial mausoleum every year.Situ Min has been building palaces, palaces, and gardens in the past few years. There are many things to consider when hiring peasants. For example, when the farming season is busy, these projects will almost stop, so as not to delay the farming season.However, it is much cheaper to hire those slave-born laborers from Beirong. Moreover, after Beirong has tasted the sweetness, I am afraid that there will be another fight between the various tribes.In the past, in these tribal fights, almost all men who were higher than the wheels were beheaded to avoid chaos, but now, if this strong labor is caught, it can be sent directly to the market as labor and sold to Dajing for money. grain.It's strange that they don't do this kind of costless business!

After getting used to such transactions, there will be almost no peace between the various tribes!

Immediately, a group of people looked at Situ Xian, the crown prince, with somewhat wrong eyes. Some clearly expressed their appreciation, while others felt that the crown prince was not kind enough.Immediately, someone stood up and said, "His Royal Highness's actions are detrimental to benevolence!"

Situ Xian didn't think so in his heart, but he said on the surface: "The so-called benevolence of a sage is to love oneself first, so that he can extend himself to others. As Prince Dajing, he naturally needs to consider loving Dajing before he can talk about other things! What's more, hiring Bei Rong laborers, this is also an act of benevolence and righteousness! I have heard that the various tribes of the Bei Rong conquered each other, and after breaking through other tribes, they often killed all the adult men, women and children became slaves, and worked all day without freedom and without clothes. There is not enough to eat! But the imperial court hires these laborers to feed and clothe them, isn’t this an act of benevolence?”

Immediately, all the ministers were speechless. That’s right, these people work on the grasslands and in the Central Plains. One of them can’t have enough food and clothing, and they have to be cannon fodder when necessary. Their wages were taken away by their masters, but at least they can eat and clothe themselves warmly. If this is still called inhumane, find someone more benevolent!

Situ Min obviously thinks that this is more reliable, since it will cost money anyway, and hiring these people will save a lot, so give it a try!

Situ Xian can come up with such an idea, and others dare not really treat him as a child. Situ Min returned to Changchun Palace and praised Situ Xian in front of Shu Yun. Shu Yun was also pleasantly surprised After a few more years, Situ Min might only think that Situ Xian is too capable!However, in his mouth, he said that this is all under the influence of your majesty, otherwise, how could Situ Xian grow up like this?

Now that Situ Min is middle-aged, he can't listen to harsh words more and more. It's the same in the court and in the harem. Nowadays, several high-ranking concubines are rarely favored. On the one hand, it's because of old age. , are no longer as youthful and beautiful as before. On the other hand, it is because they are of relatively high birth and always represent a part of the power in the court. It is difficult for Situ Min to pamper them purely, so he simply goes there once or twice a month. Most of the time, it was just chatting under the quilt. Here in Changchun Palace, originally according to the rules, everyone would come on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year. Besides, Situ Min could also come one or two more times or even more.

Mainly because he is with Shu Yun, Situ Min doesn't have too much pressure, Shu Yun's family has a very low sense of presence, and Situ Xian, the prince, has been relatively low-key so far. He rarely talks in the court, and usually just listens. In private, he has been tossing about things in Zhuangzi that Situ Min thinks are too idealistic. For example, Situ Xian is said to want to breed rice and wheat that double the yield per mu.Is this really that easy?However, Situ Min is quite satisfied with this. A low-key prince who doesn't cause trouble and doesn't like to form cliques in the court is a good thing for him.In comparison, after Situ Kuan grew up, he began to have frequent contacts with his natal family and several nobles, which made Situ Min look down on him!As for Situ Shi, he is a typical young man of literature and art. Now he is obsessed with calligraphy, painting and music. Concubine Shu and Concubine Shu's natal family have money, which can afford his hobby that burns money.As for Situ Xuan, who is younger, he also likes to toss around, especially the so-called Gewu, and spends all day studying some weird little things.However, Situ Min felt relieved just because he was not doing his job properly.

The fifth prince, Situ Yin, was born of Concubine Hui. Concubine Hui's entry into the palace naturally entrusted the family's hopes. Although Situ Yin is still young at present, Concubine Hui also wants Situ Yin to be an oriole. Therefore, Situ Yin still looks relatively low-key, the problem is, what's the use of being low-key, Shan Guogong's family is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and there are many old relatives behind him, so even if Situ Yin doesn't want to fight, The people behind will also push him to fight.

The sixth prince, Situ An, was born by Concubine Liu. Concubine Liu did not come from a high family background, but she was very lucky, but she was conceived after being favored twice, but the delivery was not smooth, if it wasn't for Shu Yun If she was ordered to rescue her with all her strength, she might die. If so, the childbirth also hurt her body. She knew that she was not particularly beautiful. If she hadn't given birth to a prince, she wouldn't even be able to get a concubine, so I have always been relatively honest and law-abiding, and I don't like to stand out.Situ An usually has a quiet temperament, whether it is reading or other things, he is not outstanding, almost a little transparent.

Now the youngest seventh prince in the palace, Situ Ding, is the son of Concubine Shun. Shun Concubine is considered to be the most favored in recent years, and her family background is also not high. Among the concubines, the positions of imperial concubine and concubine de have always been vacant. Situ Min has no intention of filling them. He would rather confer another title. The same is true for concubines. If you have a son, you can be promoted. , talented people or something like that, those newcomers to the palace who have not yet been favored are all recruiters.This is also because in the past few years of the draft, the status of the show girls left in the palace is not high, so there is no need to give a higher status from the beginning.

For these low-ranking concubines, Situ Min can rest assured that he doesn't have to worry about any relatives. However, these concubines have no natal family to rely on, and only Situ Min can rely on them. Therefore, I usually only think about Situ Min's preferences more and more. Dare to have any disobedience, so Situ Min will naturally feel at ease.

As for Shu Yun, he doesn't want to be a virtuous queen, and play tricks with Situ Min. People like Situ Min have always been used to going smoothly. How can a few words change his mind? It will only make him feel upset. , and you are not an admonisher, why do you care so much!Anyway, Situ Min still knows how to do things now. Apart from liking a little extravagance, there is nothing wrong with governing the country. If this is the case, other things are just small things, so you don't need to worry too much.

Shu Yun, the queen, doesn't point fingers at the government, doesn't want him to support her natal family, and doesn't speak well of her son in front of him. She can answer whatever Situ Min says, and she isn't such an idiot beauty. Therefore, Situ Min came to Changchun Palace The frequency is still very high, so that people like Concubine Xian dare to complain in private that Shu Yun is an old goblin. At such an old age, his son will be married soon, and he will not let go of the Holy Majesty.

But for others, harmony between the emperor and the empress is the reason for being serious. The little wife can be spoiled, but the most important thing is the big wife!This is also the consistent value orientation of those scholar-bureaucrats, so there are still people among the people advocating such things as the deep love between the emperor and empress, and Shu Yun also scoffs at this.

The peace talks with Bei Rong have finally begun. Bei Rong is not really unified, but it is just a loose alliance. For the benefit, everyone can get together, but also, for the benefit, they can stab each other one knife.

There are also people with a long-term vision. In Dajing, the mutual market is fine, but Dajing needs to introduce the labor force of Beirong, so if you have extra slaves, Dajing can hire them. Of course, it’s just hiring, and the people are still you. Yes, Dajing pays you wages every year, and if these laborers die, Dajing will also give compensation.However, Dajing is not what everyone wants, like those who are old and weak, forget it, don’t die before reaching the place, so what you want is young and middle-aged, women also want it, and the age span is slightly larger. No problem, in a word, the price is clearly marked, and the child is not deceived!

People of insight here in Beirong naturally understand that this is Dajing's conspiracy.
