The Prosperity of Jingdi Chronicle

As Jing Li said this, he soon talked about the great victory of the Southern Expedition a year ago, which was one of the most worthy of mentioning his great achievements so far.

Wenzhi and martial arts have been the standard for judging a king's achievements since ancient times. Let's not talk about Wenzhi first, because the effect of Wenzhi can't be achieved immediately. Just talking about the martial arts that expands the territory is the most important thing for any king. A great achievement, worthy of being enshrined in history books for future generations to admire, worthy of praise and praise by his courtiers, and of course worthy of bragging in front of his son.

"Father is so powerful." Sure enough, Jing Ke listened with pricked ears, and quickly forgot the grievance when the emperor punished him for no reason just now. Looking at the emperor's eyes full of little stars, it was obvious that his heart was full of reverence.

"It's not all due to me. The hard work of the people and the diligence of the officials made the treasury full. The soldiers put their hearts into it, and the soldiers used their lives to take down Nanyi in one fell swoop." Although Jing Li was a little humble in his mouth, there was a look of pride on his face. The look on his face, but no amount of humility can hide it.

"It is all because of the wise and benevolent father, that the world is peaceful, the world is united, and the will is united." Jing Ke is not an idiot. The people around him have taught him how many times to make people happy. How could he not know this? What to say at that time.

But he really felt that the emperor was very powerful, so he said this very sincerely.

Of course Jing Li loves to hear these words, especially when his son looks at him with such adoring eyes, he is even more ecstatic. He is so happy that seeing his son is pleasing to the eye all of a sudden, this big hand rubbing his son's head is also There is a tender feeling.

"When my son grows up, I would like to lead the soldiers for my father, kill enemies on the battlefield, defend my country and open my territory." Every boy has a dream of being a general. The young Jing Ke has been loved by his father. The words incited the blood to boil, and now he was encouraged by the emperor's gentle big hand, and immediately made a bold statement.

"Okay, okay, Ke'er has such a great wish at such a young age, she is worthy of being the heir of my Jing family, and I will take you with me when I go to the Northern Expedition." Little Jing Ke said this very solemnly, It was precisely because of his young age that Jing Li believed that what he said was true. After hearing what Jing Ke said, he was overjoyed, and kissed his son's chubby face with a "baji", "It's just, you love to cry You need to correct your problems, none of my generals is a crybaby."

Suddenly, Jing Li thought of the scene where Jing Ke burst into tears just now. This is not the temper that a prince who is determined to expand his territory should have. Well, Jing Ke would never cry like a little cat with teary eyes.

Jing Ke was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and just wanted to say that he is not a crybaby, or that the emperor deliberately made things difficult for him. After saying the words, he just responded politely: "My son knows."

"Leading soldiers to fight, killing the enemy is not just lip service, it's real swords and guns to fight with your life, you can't do it with your chubby body, it seems that I want to find a master for you, teach and hone you Fan, when you develop a good skill, you can take care of my worries when you grow up." Jing Li looked at his figure and shook his head, thinking that Jing Ke with this appearance would not be able to become a general leading the army.

"Master? The emperor asked the grand commander to be the master of his ministers, is it good to teach them kung fu?" Jing Ke blurted out the words without thinking too much.

"Commander?" Jing Li didn't expect his son to make such a request, and couldn't help but stare at his son seriously, wondering if someone taught him this.

Jing Ke's eyes were still very pure. Even if he was stared at by the emperor, he didn't panic at all. He didn't seem to realize what an extraordinary request he made.

At that time, if the ceremony of apprenticeship was formally performed, one day would be a teacher and one would be a father for life, and the relationship between master and apprentice would be very close.If Jing Ke really worshiped Wei Yan as his teacher, his position in Wei Yan's heart, and his position in the hearts of the Wei family's parents, would be many times higher than it is now.

Although the Wei family has kept a low profile for many years, but the emperor's favor is there. No matter how low-key they are, the Wei family is very influential in the imperial army. If Jing Ke really has a mentor with Wei Yan Fame, if the Wei family has any intentions, I am afraid that in a very short period of time, the power among the princes will ebb and flow, and a new round of ranking will start.

Even if the Wei family has no other ideas, in the future, if he gives Wei Yan a title, Jing Ke's ranking will naturally rise accordingly, and at that time, many things will not be up to him.However, this is not what he expected.

Although Jing Li had the intention of letting Wei Yan teach Jing Ke, but he had a more playful mentality and was not prepared to do other things.Which son should be appointed as the heir apparent is a matter of the emperor's family, and he should make his own decisions. He did not intend to let anyone intervene, even if the Wei family wanted to intervene, it would definitely be his taboo.

He raised the Wei family with one hand, and it was a sharp sword in his hand. The owner of this sharp sword is him, and it can only be him.If a sword has its own will and wants to do things arbitrarily, if he holds such a sword in his hand, he will probably hate cutting his hands.

Which son he wants to have is one thing, if someone forces him to do so, it will be a challenge to his king's authority, which is absolutely intolerable to him.Besides, compared to the other sons, Jing Ke has always been in a dispensable position in his heart.

Although they are all his sons, people are different. Oftentimes no matter how hard you try, you can't compare to reincarnation with a good belly. Just because of the lowly birth mother, Jing Ke's desire to become a leader in the future has been eliminated. road.

What's more, Jing Ke's biological mother is not only humble, but also involves countless secrets in the palace, which can be said to move the whole body.Those things are past events that Jing Li doesn't want to recall, and no one is allowed to bring them up at all. As a result, even Jing Ke's identity has become a little embarrassing.

Over the years, Jing Li has been ignoring him intentionally or unintentionally, and this is probably the biggest reason.

Although it is different now, in order to coax Wei Yan, let Jing Ke win favor in front of Wei Yan, and now he gradually loves this son a little more, even so, let him make Jing Ke's future arrangements It is not a bad thing to change from a quiet and idle clan to a favored prince of Xiaoyao, or a prince of generals who can lead troops to guard the border.

Brothers fighting tigers, father and son soldiers in battle, blood and blood relatives can't be as reassuring as others.Jing Li believes that the future king will have a broad mind enough to accommodate a brother like Jing Ke, if not, Jing Li will let him have one.

In any case, they are always the continuation of his blood. Jing Li encourages them to show competition, not to encourage them to kill brothers and sisters. If someone does something rebellious regardless of brotherhood, he will not hesitate to let them feel his love Thunder Fury.

"The commander-in-chief is busy with official duties, and I don't have time to teach you. I will help you choose another Wang Fu." Now that he was concerned, he immediately refuted Jing Ke's request.

"Father Emperor..." Although the emperor's refusal was very pleasant, it's a pity that the emperor is not the commander-in-chief. , is the emperor who often puts on a straight face to scold him. Jing Ke hesitated for a moment, but finally did not dare to act like a baby with the emperor, and nodded obediently, "I know."

The choice of Wang Fu who taught the prince to bow and horse ride and shoot was not a short-term matter. Especially since Jingli had new expectations for his son, the matter became more cautious. Since he couldn't make a decision for a while, he decided to This was let go beforehand.

At this time, he guessed that Wei Yan should wake up too, so he asked Jing Ke to be taken down to find Wei Yan.

Wei Yan had indeed woken up, and was helping the emperor organize his things before the imperial case.

These days, the emperor transferred a large number of old files from the Ministry of Households into the palace for imperial viewing, and spread them all over a table, leaving no place for others to make a move.Only Wei Yan, because he has been directed by the emperor to do this and that, so he knows exactly what the emperor is busy with.

Since the emperor turned his attention to the northwest, the preliminary preparations were about to begin.

The soldiers and horses did not move, but the food and grass went first.The abundance of grain and grass and the smoothness of grain roads are the key to victory in war.The so-called food and grass not only refers to the food eaten by soldiers, but also includes all the armaments needed in war such as weapons, armor, horses and equipment.

But all of this boils down to one word, money.Money is what is fought in wars. If there is not enough money in the treasury, no matter what the emperor thinks, this battle cannot be fought.

Based on what Wei Yan saw with the emperor these days, the Northern Expedition would take place in about five years.The fighting in the south has just ended, the army needs to rest and replenish, and the most important thing is that the people need time to recuperate.

If the emperor wholeheartedly wants to resort to military action and waste people's wealth, I am afraid that this bitter remonstrance will be presented like snowflakes again. Of course, there must be Wei Yan's part in it.

"What's wrong with frowning so tightly?" As soon as Jing Li entered, Wei Yan's expression was serious.

"Now is not the best time to fight. Your Majesty must not act too hastily." Even if he was throwing cold water on the emperor, Wei Yan still had to say what should be said.

"Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion. Beidi is my confidant's confidant since Gaozu. Gaozu planned the Northern Expedition for many years, but it was a pity that he couldn't make it. Since Gaozu, my ancestors have been cautious and always in the Defensive, even though the barbarians are more and more ignorant of the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth, they actually regard my borderlands as their natural grain farms, and they will go south to plunder from time to time, and they will not attack and defend each other until Chen Tianyao guards the border. If I can't get rid of this deep-rooted trouble in my lifetime, I will definitely do it. It's hard to feel at ease. However, I have never underestimated the barbarians on horseback, and what I am doing now is to prepare for it. Moreover, I still need a suitable opportunity."

When Jing Li mentioned the opportunity, his eyes changed slightly.He is determined to eradicate border troubles, but he has always been afraid of the tyrannical combat power of the barbarians. He has no intention of using the lives of countless soldiers to fight recklessly in exchange for this victory. Naturally, he needs a suitable opportunity.

The emperor's order that Luzhu bears is related to this, to find out the enemy's situation for the emperor and give the emperor a good opportunity to send troops.Of course, in many cases, if there is no opportunity, it is also possible to create an opportunity.

"It's because I'm worrying too much." At this time, the emperor showed Wei Yan's favorite side, worrying about the country and the people, caring about the world, wise and wise.

He looked in a daze for a while, until the emperor hugged him and kissed him, teasingly asked him if he missed him, and he woke up. The emperor's side was always just a flash in the pan in front of him, because the emperor was simply impatient. With that look in front of him.

Although the emperor's current expression is not bad, it is very gentle, and of course it is more indecent, but this kind of expression probably belongs to him alone, so in the end Wei Yan has nothing to complain about.

"What happened to His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince just now... It's my fault that I didn't consider it thoroughly. Don't blame him, Your Majesty." There is really no secret in the palace. The matter of Jing Ke being bullied by the emperor just now has already been heard by Wei Yan. It was also because he had lived in this palace for too long, subconsciously regarded this as his home, and always thought that Jing Ke was still young, so he was tired from playing in Jing Ke, and carried him to the dragon couch to rest in a moment of confusion.

Hearing the emperor's temper with Jing Ke, he immediately understood why. He wanted to explain it, but he went outside the Hall of Zhaoren. Hearing that the emperor and Jing Ke's father and son had reconciled, he retreated. .

"Of course it's your fault. Could it be that it's my fault?" Wei Yan's willingness to admit his mistake usually means that Jing Li can open his mouth like a lion and make some requests that Wei Yan is usually unwilling to make. Such an opportunity, Jing Li is definitely not willing Let it go, "I have to think carefully about how to punish you."

He said he would be punished, but the emperor's kiss was still very gentle, and the tenderness and sweetness in his eyes seemed to melt the ice and snow in the cold winter.

Wei Yan didn't say much, just embraced the emperor's back, let him kiss, and occasionally kissed back a little, but he was soon kissed more passionately by the emperor, and he forgot how to respond.

After a long time, until Wei Yan was too tired to move his fingers, the emperor let him go with satisfaction.

"It's not Mingjun's doing to proclaim adultery in the daytime." After the incident, Jing Li put Wei Yan's clothes on and shook his head slightly. It sounded like he was introspecting himself, but it was a pity that he used an insincere tone.

Wei Yan's voice was hoarse, and he didn't want to speak, but just stared at the emperor hard.Knowing that you can't do it, you still have to make fun of it after you're done. This kind of behavior is almost like a street hooligan.

If the emperor really had a hint of introspection, he wouldn't have refused to let him go when he was pleading hard just now, and now he is making such sarcastic remarks, I really don't know how the emperor's face is so long of.

To get a cheap price and to behave like a good boy, you can just do it a little bit, and if you show off for too long, it will be annoying, and Jing Li has long understood the reason.Seeing that Wei Yan still remembered being bullied by him just now, he hurriedly handed over the teacup to moisten his throat, and quickly changed the subject.

"Ke'er is pestering me and wants me to find him a master to teach him kung fu. I wonder if you are interested?" Jing Ke suddenly turned into a child who pestered him and acted like a baby in Jing Li's mouth. You're bound to sneeze at it.

It's a pity that the facts are not important at all, what Jing Li said is the truth.Even if Jing Ke had a different opinion on this, he probably wouldn't have the opportunity to express it.The strange thing is that after Jing Li rejected Jing Ke, somehow he figured it out again, and asked Wei Yan this question.

"I'm busy with official duties, so I really don't have time to teach His Royal Highness the Sixth Highness." Wei Yan didn't know what the emperor was thinking, maybe he understood it vaguely, but he didn't want to go into it, but the reason for his refusal was almost the same as the emperor's dismissal of Jing Ke. When asked, said exactly the same.

Hearing what he said, Jing Li finally laughed, and couldn't help leaning forward to kiss him again.

If the Wei family had something they shouldn't have, he wouldn't allow it, but Wei Yan was different, he didn't want Wei Yan and him to have a big disagreement on this matter, and finally quarrel over it.

Now that Wei Yan is willing to be consistent with him, he is of course happy.
