Red Mansion Royal Cat

Chapter 235
Daxia has been established for nearly a hundred years. Since the founding of the country by Taizu, all four generations of emperors have been brave emperors who have dominated the world.

The majesty of the Celestial Kingdom has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. As a vassal of the Great Xia, Nanyue dared to provoke the prince of the Kingdom, and even dared to clamor to attack the Celestial Dynasty. To Yao Shan, this was simply a big joke.

But is it really a joke?Jia Cong didn't think so.

Compared with Daxia, the clamor of Nanyue Kingdom is as arrogant as Yelang.But in fact, according to the secret report of Longjianwei, at the end of Zhaowu 49, there was a civil strife in the center. South Vietnam took the opportunity to launch a war, annexed several small neighboring countries, and established itself as emperor, indirectly controlling the military and political power of Siam.

It can be said that the current South Vietnam basically has the strength to reject the Central Plains from the North.

At least without mobilizing the elite of the twelve guards of the Beijing camp, the imperial court may not be able to break through the defense line of South Vietnam with the Lingnan army alone.

After all, the dense forests in the southwest are enough for the imperial army to toss about.

Jia Cong fell into deep thought, and Jia Shixi sent Yao Shan out of the house.Because Baoyu was rewarded with a family banquet, it didn't make him happy.

The envoys of the Nanyue Kingdom clamored outside the palace gate to enter the Central Plains, which could not be concealed from the envoys of the vassal states in Beijing.

The imperial court was held in mid-air, if they didn't teach Nanyue a lesson, how could they coerce the Quartet in the future?

If you don't fight, your prestige will be damaged; if you fight, the current situation of the imperial court is actually not very good.

Jia Cong could already foresee how the imperial court would deal with it: the Ministry of Rites sent envoys to warn, and if Nanyue bowed his head and admitted his mistake, he would be done with a few words of thunder and rain.

But the current strength of Nanyue Kingdom has skyrocketed to the point where the envoys of South Vietnam have swelled so much, how could they bow their heads?
There is going to be a war, which has almost become the consensus of the important officials in the DPRK and China.Master Xi went to Ningguo Mansion after returning from the palace, and the two most discerning members of the Jia family were not optimistic about this sudden conflict.

Fortunately, Jia Jiaerlang is old enough, and they are basically in the Jiangnan army. Those who stay in Beijing, old and young, should not be conscripted to join the army.

"Father, what did the palace say?"

Jia Cong sent hot water to bathe his father's feet, and the look of exhaustion on the face of Elder Xi was a little more than usual.

"The gang of Confucianists are really crazy. They even urged His Majesty to mobilize the army to march south. They didn't even think about it. What kind of virtue is the twelve guards of the Beijing camp? .”

Mr. She has been rectifying the Beijing camp these days, but the peace has been going on for a long time, and the Beijing camp only takes up two or three out of ten people who are empty-paid, and this is not counting the old and weak mixed in.

Transfer troops?Every three to five years, the Beijing camp was just a half-empty shelf, which looked good on display, but it might not be better than the local guards if it was pulled out.

Jia Cong reminded: "My son thinks there is something wrong with the envoys of the Nanyue Kingdom. Since he dares to shout like this, it means he has the confidence to shout. If this battle is really fought, it may not be as smooth as it was ten years ago."

"Successful? How is that possible?"

Ugh!
Jia She heaved a long sigh: "Back then, the two divisions of the water and the land marched hand in hand to win the battle. That's how they killed 3 horses and wounded [-]. The three-year war even emptied the household department." , is there any money in the current court?"

The prestige of the current emperor is far less than that of the Taishanghuang. If the Taishanghuang has no money, the wealthy merchants in the south of the Yangtze River will hold the money and beg the old man to accept it, but the current Majesty can only grab it with a knife...

Boom boom boom!
"General, there is an order in the palace to order you to enter the palace to have an audience."

The report outside the door made Jia Cong look at the sky outside the window in surprise: "It's almost night..."

"San'er, go and rest, and go and see what's going on for the father."

Master She wiped his feet indiscriminately, put on his shoes and socks and planned to enter the palace.After thinking for a while, he greeted: "Come here, put on the armor for Ben Bo!"

Jia Cong was shocked and said: "Father, you will not take the initiative to invite Ying!"

On weekdays, whether he went to the court or summoned him, most of the Grand Master Amnesty only wore python robes and noble clothes. Is it still necessary to ponder the meaning of wearing armor?

I saw Elder Xi patted his son's head and said with a smile: "Your Majesty has the final say on whether to go or not, but our family's loyalty must be revealed. Besides, Nanzheng may not be needed for the time being." As a general of the Beijing camp, I am afraid that I will choose a commander in the Lingnan Army."

It is true to say so, but Jia Cong is still uneasy.

After sending the old man on the horse and seeing him off, Rongxi Hall heard the news, and the old lady sent a mandarin duck to call Jia Cong.

The girls were originally accompanying the old lady Gao Le, when they suddenly heard the news of Jia Amnesty coming from the palace, and heard Jia Amnesty entering the palace in armor, this scene was all too familiar to the old lady.

As soon as Jia Cong entered the door, the old lady asked worriedly: "Brother Cong, has something serious happened?"

"The Thirteenth Lord beat up the envoy of Nanyue Kingdom in front of the palace gate today, and that envoy publicly clamored for troops to enter the Central Plains..."

"what?"

pat.

The teacups in the old lady's hands fell to the ground, and she muttered to herself, "This is going to war!"

The atmosphere in the room turned down sharply, and all these smart girls stopped playing.

Baochai suddenly said, "Actually, there was an omen for this incident a few years ago..."

Ok?
The old lady looked at Baochai in surprise: "Bao girl, where do you start with this?"

Just listen to Baochai's eloquence: "Most of my family's business to the south is through the port of Nanyue Kingdom. In the first year of Yuanyou, the king of Nanyue, Ruan Xi, had already assumed the title of emperor, and annexed Dongli, Vientiane and other countries. There are even rumors that , the kings of Siam were all imprisoned in Thang Long Mansion. It would be okay if this matter hadn’t been made public, but now I’m afraid it won’t happen if we don’t fight.”

Rituals are the basis for the celestial dynasty to govern all nations.

The king of Nanyue has already become emperor, how can the Celestial Dynasty continue to forbear?

As Baochai said, the core of the controversy in the Hall of Qinzheng is the word rite.

The chief assistant Wei Qinghe also couldn't suppress the objections in the court, from the Minister of Rites of the second rank to the sixth division of the seventh rank, they all advised to send troops, and the arrogance of the Nanyue Kingdom must be completely wiped out.

The veterans of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion rarely closed their mouths, until a stunned young man mocked the soft bones of the military, stabbing the general's lungs.

The Qinzheng Palace was in full swing, and Liu Heng walked away in a fit of anger, so the matter could only be shelved for the time being.

The emperor was so angry that Wei Qinghe had no choice but to take charge.He asked the Ministry of Rites to draw up an order, and first reprimanded the South Vietnamese envoys for treason and expelled them.Then sent envoys to South Vietnam to order...

These are conventional, nothing new.

Everyone is proficient step by step, Chao Wenwu is now waiting for the decision of the second sage in the palace, whether to send troops to the southwest or wipe the spittle off his face and continue to endure.

There was a person hanging from a big tree by the Taiye Pool, and Jia Amnesty pretended that he had no time to see the other person's eyes begging for help.

This time, the old thirteen has caused a lot of trouble for the generals. Unless they win the Shenglong mansion in one go, if there is a stalemate for a month in the middle of the battle, Daxia is very likely to be defeated by the Southwest.

"Brother Enhou, don't go, beg for mercy, I've been hanging for an afternoon..."

Jia Amnesty stopped in his tracks and glanced at Liu Ke, who was still alive and well: "What are you doing to provoke the monkeys in South Vietnam? It's not that you don't know the current situation of the court. This is good. It's not a fight, it's not a fight... ..."

Liu Ke hung in the air, gnashing his teeth and cursing: "It's not the old fourteen. Originally, I just whipped the envoys of South Vietnam a few times. Unexpectedly, this fellow fanned the flames by the side. Didn't I lose my head for a while? One couldn't hold back and hit harder."

"What did he say that made you so angry?"

"Didn't the Dragon Guards catch a few black monkeys from South Vietnam, and the hibiscus ointment also came from South Vietnam, so they wanted to vent their anger by pumping up the monkeys. I didn't expect the old fourteen to say that I was just like this." Be more courageous, the concubine was almost killed, and she didn't even dare to kill her enemy..."

After hearing Liu Ke's explanation, Jia Amnesty rolled his eyes.

This man is stupid today, he doesn't want to talk to stupid people.

But it's a little strange that Liu Wei suddenly came out like this.Instigating the old thirteen to kill the envoys of the Nanyue Kingdom, what benefits can it bring him?
Could it be that he wanted to avenge the burning of the Cuihong Tower by taking the crime of killing the envoy without permission?
"Jia Amnesty, are you wearing such a suit, are you going to challenge me for a fight?"

At some point, the Supreme Emperor had already walked over slowly with Liu Heng's support.

He glanced at the bastard son hanging on the tree, and asked in a deep voice.

Jia She immediately half-kneeled and cupped his fists, and said loudly: "Jia She of the Rongguo Mansion, willing to die for a saint and for His Majesty!"

The silver armor on his body shone dazzlingly in the afterglow of the setting sun, which made the old sage deeply moved.

This bastard is the head of the military generals he personally selected for his eldest son, but he wasted for several years due to various reasons.

The old man sighed and patted Jia She on the shoulder: "Are you really willing to go?"

Jia Amnesty raised his head, solemnly but with bitterness: "If I go, at least I can guarantee that I will do my best."

In a war that cannot be won quickly, there will be an [-]% chance of failure. Jia She has truthfully expressed his worries.

The old man didn't blame him, but patted him on the shoulder to get him up.

Liu Heng glared at the old thirteen who was hanging on the tree pretending to be a good baby, and said to Jia Amnesty: "Today, I ordered you to enter the palace, not to let you lead the army. I have discussed with my father, and this battle will not be fought." No, but you can't gamble with the imperial court's luck either."

The three monarchs and ministers walked slowly along the Taiye Pool, and the emperor told Jia She about his plan.

The battle will definitely be fought, but troops will not be transferred from the Beijing camp.

The imperial court will issue a decree to transfer troops from Liaodong, Hexi, and Sichuan and Shu, and make Northern Jing Wang Shui Rong the commander-in-chief.

The purpose of Zhao Jia's amnesty to enter the palace is to let him speed up the rectification of the twelve guards of the Beijing camp, and strive to restore the Beijing camp to its peak level within a year.

Even if it can't restore its heyday, at least it can deter the disobedience of the surrounding feudal towns.

"Intuition tells me that there are a pair of black hands behind the rise of Nanyue, its disobedience, and today's events. Whether it's the thirteenth or the fourteenth, they've all been tricked by others!"

Jia Amnesty asked tentatively, "Your Majesty is suspicious of Shui Rong, or Qi Wenhua?"

"I have both. The purpose of sending Shui Rong Pingnan is to see how much power is hidden in the palace of Beijing County."

The emperor's move was a conspiracy. If Shui Rong didn't want to expose the strength of the Beijing County Prince's Mansion, this match would most likely be defeated.

But if he loses, he must be punished, which is also unacceptable to the Prince's Mansion of Beijing County.

Putting aside the risk of exposure and sacrificing one's own strength to serve the old Liu family, can Shui Rong bear it?

Sure enough, the hearts of those who play politics are black!

However, Grand Master She felt that Er Sheng's idea was so damn good, Shui Rong made one trick after another at such a young age, and this time he will be tricked again.

but……

"Saint, Your Majesty, I have a worry. If Shui Rong takes the opportunity to collude with Nanyue, won't the Southwest be in chaos?"

I just heard the emperor chuckle: "Isn't Niu Jizong rectifying the Lingnan army in Guangdong? Zhenhui will order him to enter Guangxi, and Qin Yuliang's son will also go south with the army, in Sichuan and Guizhou, to recruit soldiers for the imperial court. Guangxi and Guangxi support the imperial army. Even if they lose, they will not let the flames of war burn to the territory of Daxia."

……

The last big dynasty in September almost ended in waves of quarrels.

The Son of Heaven issued an edict that King Shui Rong of Beijing County was the General of Pingnan, leading an army of 20 (actually, Liaodong Town, Xining Town, and the local guards in Sichuan and Sichuan have a total of less than [-] troops.) to go to South Vietnam to conquer minister.

After the imperial decree was issued, Shui Rong was able to hide his anger and unwillingness, but the most angry ones belonged to Dongping County King Qian Kangshi and Xining County King Qi Wenhua.

Because the imperial decree clearly stated that [-] troops from Liaodong Town under the command of Dongping County Prince's Mansion, and [-] troops from Xining Town under the command of Xining County Prince's Mansion were recruited into Shui Rong's command...

Three birds with one stone, can the two kings not be angry?

What can anger do?The imperial court occupied the great righteousness, and the two kings did not obey. They hurried to the Beijing County Prince's Mansion as soon as they came to court. As for whether they were going to fight or secretly discuss, the Long Guards didn't even bother to care.

Liu Ke was hung on a crooked neck tree in Longshou Palace for two full days, and the families that were smashed into the palace temporarily died down.

The old sage personally vented his anger on them with a whip, and ordered Liu Ke to compensate them according to the price. Naturally, they had no choice but to descend such a high ladder.

However, Liu Ke seemed to be determined to be Lao Lai, and would not go back to Longshou Palace. Anyone who went to Zhongshun Palace to ask for money was beaten out by Princess Cui with a stick.

Especially the loyal king Liu Wei, he went to ask for money immediately after receiving the news, and was directly knocked out by Princess Cui. This time, Princess Cui's gentle personality completely collapsed.

Ergou is indeed a good material for a spy, telling Jia Cong all kinds of gossip about the capital with Jia Cong who is squatting outside the gate of Rongguo Mansion.

"Third Lord, is the hibiscus ointment so powerful that it can turn people into ghosts?"

The most violent thing in the capital in recent days is the banning of sedum, and the number of people who smoked scepter far exceeded Jia Cong's imagination.

It was decreed in the palace that anyone who reported drug abuse would be rewarded with money. The people who reported to the county and government offices every day were like crucian carp crossing the river, and thousands of people were forcibly taken to quit drug abuse by the government.

The fact that Zhengdong Fang's collective was forced to inhale venom gave the Tai Hospital the best experimental place, even though the most effective medicine for the disease had not been developed, but it finally had some clues.The Y gentlemen who were dragged out of the city to concentrate on rehab, at least they had hope of rehabilitating.

However, the hazards of this hibiscus ointment still failed to attract the attention of the common people. They only regarded it as a way to get a small fortune, and being able to get the reward from the government was simply happier than during the New Year.

Some people even laughed and said that it would be great if there were more people who smoked narcotics...

Jia Cong glanced at the eager Ergou: "Become a ghost? No, it's scarier than a ghost. At least the ghost is dead. If you take lotus ointment, life would be worse than death!"

blah blah blah...

The sound of horseshoes interrupted the chatter of the master and servant, Jia Cong looked up and saw Jia Jiu and the others who were following his father.

"Uncle Nine!"

I saw Jia Jiu get off the horse, clasped his fists and said, "Little San Ye, General Master, please go to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion."

Jia Cong asked in bewilderment: "Let me go to the Governor's Mansion? What's the matter?"

I saw Jia Jiu smiled proudly: "The general has trained the new army according to the military training program drawn up by the young master, and now it has achieved preliminary results. Today, I will perform martial arts for the old commanders of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion to watch. Why not?" The little third master, the great hero, can be missing."

"By the way, the general said, let the little third master go in armor, and don't let the old men underestimate the little third master!"
