Chapter 375 Domineering

The eldest prince's wedding ceremony took place.

There are no long street lights,

There is no welcoming team composed of princes and nobles' children,

Without the people from all over the city of Yanjing scrambling to watch,

keep it simple,

Everything is quiet.

The imperial court of Yan State delivered a letter of credence to the royal court of the barbarians in the desert, which contained two letters.

The content of one letter is in official language, nothing more than good-neighborly and friendly people on both sides yearn for peace and so on;

The content of the other letter was written by Emperor Yan himself;

For the truly centralized and majestic emperor, the letters written by him are actually countless times more credible than the so-called official words.

He can sit on the high platform of the emperor majestically,

You can also sit by your side and chat with you like your neighbor,

This is his freedom, his power, and more importantly, his self-confidence.

In a personal letter from Emperor Yan,

Yanhuang first explained to Man Wang the reasons for the simplicity of the wedding. One reason is that Ji Wujiang is a defeated general and he still bears the guilt, so he cannot make a big statement. Therefore, your daughter can only be wronged.

The other is that the war between Yan and Chu may break out again. According to the tradition of Yan, marriage is forbidden at this time, so it can only be held quietly.

However, at the bottom of the letter, Emperor Yan personally promised to the old barbarian king that as long as the two countries would not fight each other, he, Ji Runhao, could keep this barbarian princess safe for the rest of her life.

If there is a war and Yan Guo wins, she can be kept safe.

The contents of the letter are so straightforward.

It is said that

After the barbarian king received this letter,

Swearing at Emperor Yan three times is really shameless,

But at night, he drank alone until he was drunk, and when he passed, he was still holding a wolf fur cloak that he personally made for his little daughter when he was young.

A political marriage started like this and ended like this.

A deadly enemy for hundreds of years, in the next period of time, one needs to focus on the strategic posture of the Eastern countries;

The other needs to face pressure from Western countries and at the same time complete its own internal power alternation.

truce sign,

It is achieved in a mutually tacit manner.

...

"The diplomatic relationship between the two countries is actually similar to doing business. What is important is nothing more than one getting what they need."

Ji Chengjue was sitting at the table, talking with his legs crossed while drinking tea.

Sitting on the first seat beside him is the First Prince Ji Wujiang.

"Of course, it would be great if you can completely destroy the other party's business and swallow it up to do it yourself, but when you can't afford it, you still have to pay attention to what you need.

With no war on the western front, I, Dayan, can focus more on the east.

Ganchu, is the real Huahuajiangshan, desert, why bite, gnawing sand?

Do you think this is Mrs. Li? "

The barbarian princess gave Ji Chengjue a blank look, and said angrily:

"You talk too much."

"Hahaha."

Obviously, the relationship between the uncle and sister-in-law is very good.

The sixth prince has this kind of ability to build a good relationship with people. Even if the words he said are a bit stinging, they will not make people feel disgusted, but will make people feel that he is very sincere.

superior,

Except that the Supreme can exercise kingship,

For the rest, you have to add some tenderness and truth, as long as you don't wear the dragon robe, you can't lack that taste.

The eldest prince was free and easy, and said directly:

"I'm nothing. I'm a defeated general. Everything is what I deserve; I just treated your sister-in-law badly."

"Don't, don't, don't treat me badly, brother, just treat my sister-in-law well;

Since ancient times, it has been difficult for a married couple to be happy, but how much love can there be in this marriage between rich families?

Treat my sister-in-law well, not to mention living a life of dignity, but at least peace has its benefits, harmony and harmony, full of sweetness, the life of ordinary people is also good.

You said it was Lier or not sister-in-law? "

The barbarian princess smiled and said very freely:

"The queen mother once said to me that life is for myself to see, my husband, I don't care about those."

The First Prince nodded upon hearing this.

He really has a very good relationship with this barbarian princess, so sometimes he may suddenly feel melancholy at night because of this marriage, he has completely ruined the possibility of seizing the heir;

But when he saw his wife's face in his sleep, his heart softened again.

How can anything in life be perfect?

"Are the siblings here?"

The barbarian princess asked Ji Chengjue.

Ji Chengjue replied:

"It should be soon, I came first, but my daughter-in-law and my uncle wanted to send a pig over to make a lively pig slaughtering dish, so they went to Fangshi to pick it first, and calculated The time should be almost here."

"Then I'll go to meet you. My siblings are also very good-natured, and I can talk to them. Sixth Brother, I will often bring my siblings here in the future, so that we, sister-in-law and sister-in-law, can play together to relieve boredom."

Ji Chengjue immediately cupped his hands and said:

"Dare not to obey!"

After all, the barbarian princess got up and went to the front yard to welcome the young lady of the He family and the uncle of the He family.

After she leaves,

The eldest prince glanced at Ji Chengjue, and said:

"It's true what you said earlier. It's actually you who said it."

The dignified prince married a daughter of a butcher's family.

Ji Chengjue shook his head and said:

"I don't want to do it again about the mother's concubine's house."

The topic, to the sad place.

The chaos of foreign relatives has always been hated by the emperor;

Because the power of the relatives and the royal family is actually symbiotic and one, and the relatives are vassals of the imperial power.

If the relatives are powerful, the imperial power will inevitably decline.

In the past, because there were many powerful families and the imperial power was compressed, the previous generations of the royal family had to marry the powerful families. The powerful families themselves were powerful, and with the addition of the identities of foreign relatives, it was naturally more inflated.

Therefore, after the current Holy Majesty took back his power, he cut off his relatives and stepped into the family. In accordance with the development and expansion of imperial power, there is no doubt about it.

But here, it is indeed poured with blood and tears. When the relatives of the powerful family and the royal family have long been connected with branches and leaves, cutting off any one will hurt oneself.

The Min family is like this,

The same is true for the Tian family.

"10,000 barbarian cavalry have been sent there," said the First Prince.

In fact, before the wedding, a barbarian tribe was sent over by the barbarian king.

This tribe has a population of nearly 30,000 people, and nearly 10,000 people who control strings. Of course, the nearly 10,000 people here include young men and old men.

A barbarian tribe, when he was old enough to ride a horse, was a qualified warrior.

"The Marquis of Jingnan accepted the offer early on. He wants this barbarian tribe, and there is no room for negotiation." Ji Chengjue said.

Originally, as soon as the idea of ​​using barbarians to control barbarians was thrown out, it was immediately well received.

Using barbarians to resist savages and reduce the burden on Dayan is really a good strategy for governing the world.

In addition, Jingnan Hou opened his mouth without any concealment,

This barbarian tribe was sent to Jin to supplement its defense, and that was a certainty.

Nowadays, the Jingnan Army is not only responsible for the defense of the entire Sanjin area, preventing the Jin people from rebelling, but also needs to beware of threats from the Xueyuan wild people, Chu people, and Nanmenguan.

The military strength is really stretched.

And after this tribe enters the land of Jin, who will be sent to it, there is no need to guess at all.

According to reliable information, the one who ordered the massacre of the Chu army instead of the Marquis of Jingnan was none other than Zheng Fan, the newly-appointed chief soldier of Xueguan.

actually,

There is one thing that Uncle Zheng has always thought too superficially,

He just thought that he would give the order instead of Master Hou, and he just got a wave of goodwill and trust within the Jingnan Army.

But in the hall,

The impact of this matter is actually greater.

The fact that Bo Hirano, Zheng Fan, was chosen by the Marquis of Jingnan as his military successor was almost half-disclosed.

And many bigwigs know who is helping to raise Jingnanhou's son.

The imperial court is still far from the time when Asuka has exhausted his bows, and he is still facing a huge threat of war, and the ability of the Marquis of Jingnan to lead the army to the expedition is unmatched by the world's great Yan.

The monarch and ministers of the Yan Kingdom would not do the self-destruction of the Great Wall.

At the same time, although Zhenbeihou has already handed over half of his military power, if you move Nanhou, it will inevitably make people sad. If you move one, you will definitely startle the other.

The triangular relationship that was extremely stable before, from another point of view, just affects the whole body.

Therefore, stabilizing Jingnanhou has always been a top priority. Similarly, stabilizing the successor of Jingnanhou is also the key to maintaining the inheritance and stability of the Dayan Army Zhongshantou.

With almost no obstacles, this barbarian tribe was moved to Jindi and handed over to the past.

"Hehe, Brother Wei was still saying in front of Zheng Fan that he would give this dowry to him, but in the end, I didn't even have the right to say a word.

Originally, it should be his. "

The eldest prince spoke in a somewhat despondent manner.

This was originally a hole card that he was willing to show. Who would have thought that this card had nothing to do with him at all.

"well."

Ji Chengjue also let out a long sigh, saying:

"Brother, isn't the opportunity right in front of you? Within two months, you will be able to lead the army again. The last time the horse stepped on the gate, it killed too fast. After the Zhenbei army stepped on it once, it immediately went south and entered the battlefield .

The weeds grow too fast because of this, we brothers, we can clean up this time. "

"Corrupt officials can never be killed." The eldest prince said with emotion.

"My younger brother didn't say that he wanted to kill them. If they can do something, they should be greedy a little bit. I still understand the truth that being an official for thousands of miles is only for money, but in some places, some people are too greedy. They eat it by themselves." It's not okay to have a mouth full of oil and let the rats run in the treasury.

It's like a house, it's impossible to keep it clean all the time, and it's impossible to be spotless, so it has to be cleaned every now and then. "

"You can do whatever you say. Anyway, your elder brother and I are half useless. If you can help me, just ask."

"Brother, let's not rush, take your time, just take your time."

"Oh, by the way, I heard from your sister-in-law that the Ke Yan tribe sent by the barbarian king this time is very rebellious."

The barbarian king gave the dowry, in fact, it was considered troublesome to send it out.

It is naturally impossible for his own direct clan to send it out. The royal court must strengthen its own strength instead of continuing to weaken it.

Therefore, the Ke Yan tribe, a tribe that has always disobeyed the control of the royal court, became a "victim".

It is inconvenient for the royal court to carry out a public conquest and killing of the Keyan tribe, which will make the other tribes in the desert cold, which is not conducive to the continued rule of the royal court and the transfer of power.

Therefore, in the name of sending the Ke Yan tribe to Yan Guohuajiangshan, in the form of a dowry, and the threat of tens of thousands of cavalry from the royal court, it is the safest way to force the Ke Yan tribe to accept this condition and move.

It is the habit of statesmen that every needle has its use.

"Don't worry about it for him. Zheng is not a good bird. No matter how strong the taste is, he can digest it for you."

For Zheng Fan, Ji Chengjue is completely at ease.

The eldest prince said again:

"I heard that some people in the imperial court have been complaining about your favoritism in money and food recently, using the capital of the imperial court to support your confidantes."

"Hehe, the wind blows really hard, it even blows into your ears."

"Where there is no wind, there is no wave. Besides, you told me last time that you have really done it."

"Yes, yes, it has been done, but so what, once you are in power, if you don't give your own people more benefits, who is willing to help you do things for you?

It is these ministers who criticized and impeached me now, and when they need to stand in the future, they will still stand by me. At least they can know that they will follow me and have meat to eat. "

"Hehe, are you not covering up in front of Brother Wei now?"

"If you keep covering up, you'll be out of sight. Besides, covering up all day long will exhaust you to death."

The eldest prince hesitated for a moment,

Still said:

"The impeachment of you this time should not be done by the second child."

"Naturally, the second brother didn't do it. The covenant he worked so hard to make was treated as a butt wipe, how could he be so stupid as to jump out to do this at this time?

As for me, I have to work hard now, and when autumn comes, Qian Liang will be escorted to Beijing, and I have to give my father a satisfactory answer;

As for him, since he does more and makes more mistakes, it is better to do less, or even do nothing. My second brother here, your second brother, is good at everything, but too stable.

Steady, but boring. "

"Who would say that about my brother?"

"Is not it?

Oh, by the way, brother, there is one more thing that I need to discuss with you, brother. "

"What's up?"

Ji Chengjue took out a letter from his pocket, put it on the table, and said:

"This letter is a secret letter from Xu Wenzu, the commander-in-chief of Nanwang City."

Hearing this, the eldest prince couldn't help but narrow his eyes, and said:

"As a prince..."

Ji Chengjue answered first:

"As a prince, if you don't collude with the army, are you waiting for death?"

The eldest prince choked for a moment, but he immediately said: "Xu Wenzu, if I remember correctly, is from Beifeng County. Although this person was at odds with Zhenbeihou's mansion when he was an official in the court a few years ago, but During the war the year before last, he was definitely not an incompetent person in Nanwang City to stop the surprise attack of the frontier army of Qian Kingdom, so..."

Most capable people don't bother to be those who are downwind.

"It doesn't matter who he used to be, now that the Marquis of Zhenbei has handed over his military power, he, Xu Wenzu, is a member of the imperial court.

People in the imperial court are people we can dig by ourselves. To tell you the truth, I have followed the way of Zheng Fan in my relationship with Xu Wenzu. Zheng Fan and Xu Wenzu have a good personal relationship. "

"Sixth brother, you are playing with fire."

"Who then put me on the pyre?"

Ji Chengjue reached out and knocked on the envelope, and said to the eldest prince:

"Brother, do you want to see it?"

"I don't want to watch it. It's not because I'm afraid of my brother, but because I'm not suitable to watch it."

"Look, look, it's not right, it's not right."

"Sixth brother, I found out for my brother, have you never been afraid of the second child?"

"Afraid of him? Why are you afraid of him?"

Ji Chengjue stood up from the chair, stretched, and said:

"Because he is the eldest son of the emperor? Because he is the son-in-law of the Marquis of Zhenbei? Because he is the nephew of the Marquis of Jingnan?

Hehe, Zhenbeihou is better, but after all, isn't this marriage still unfinished, isn't it?

As for our royal father, our Marquis of Jingnan, who really cares about his relatives? "

Ji Chengjue took a deep breath and let it out slowly:

"Brother, don't think that I'm going too fast and too arrogant, brother, my life and death never depend on whether I'm low-key and arrogant;

I'm humble and low-key, I'm arrogant and domineering, whether my brother and I can save my life has nothing to do with money. "

"What does that have to do with it?"

"Woo..."

Ji Chengjue made a long sound,

"Hey hey hey" laughing to himself,

pointing to the door,

road:

"Brother, do you think it's funny or not, little brother, my life depends on the expressions of the officials of the Qian Kingdom and the regent of the Chu Kingdom.

If they are useless and are directly swept away by our father, the best ending for me, my brother, is to go to the Huxin Pavilion to find my third brother to recite poems to fight against;

If they can stand it, even if my younger brother brings a knife to the palace tomorrow, our father will have to pinch his nose as if he didn't see it.

hiss………

It is precisely because I have figured it out a long time ago that I find it ridiculous;

Straight girl thief,

Should I expect those two to be enlightened masters or good-for-nothings? "
