The devil is coming

Chapter 375 Domineering
The eldest prince's wedding was held.
There are no long street lights,
There is no wedding procession composed of the children of princes and nobles,
There were no people from all over Yanjing City rushing to watch.
Keep everything simple,
Everything is quiet.
The imperial court of Yan State delivered a letter of credence to the desert barbarian royal court, mixed with the contents of two letters.
The content of the letter is official, and it is nothing more than good neighborliness and friendship, and the people on both sides long for peace;
The content of the other letter was written by Emperor Yan himself;
A letter written by a truly powerful and majestic emperor is actually countless times more credible than the so-called official language.
He can sit on a high platform like an emperor in a grand manner,
You can also sit next to you and chat with you like your neighbor.
This is his freedom, his power, and even more, his confidence.
In the personal letter from Emperor Yan,
Emperor Yan first explained to King Man the reasons for keeping the wedding simple. One reason was because Ji Wujiang was a defeated general and was still burdened with guilt, so he couldn't elaborate on it. Therefore, your daughter could only suffer a little injustice.
The other is that the war between Yan and Chu may break out again. According to the tradition of Yan State, marriage is prohibited at this time, so it can only be held quietly.
However, at the bottom of the letter, Emperor Yan personally promised the old barbarian king that as long as the two countries could not fight war, he, Ji Runhao, could keep the barbarian princess safe for the rest of her life.
If there is a war, Yan Guo wins and she can be safe.
The content of the letter is so straightforward.
It is said that
After the barbarian king received this letter,
After scolding Emperor Yan three times, he was extremely shameless.
But at night, he drank alone until he was drunk. When he passed away, he still held in his hand a wolfskin cloak that he had made for his little daughter when he was young.
A political marriage began like this and ended like this.
Rivals for hundreds of years, in the next period of time, one needs to focus on the strategic posture towards the Eastern countries;
The other needs to face pressure from Western countries and at the same time complete its own internal power transition.
truce sign,
It is reached in a tacit way.
……
"Diplomatic relations between the two countries are actually the same as doing business. What we pay attention to is nothing more than each getting what he needs."
Ji Chengjue sat at the table, drinking tea and crossing his legs as he spoke.
Sitting on the first seat next to him is the eldest prince Ji Wujiang.
"Of course, it would be great if you can completely destroy the other party's business and take it over and do it yourself, but when you can't afford it, you still have to pay attention to what everyone needs.
If there is no war on the western front, we, Dayan, can focus more on the east.
Qianchu is the real land of flowers and mountains. What are you doing in the desert? Are you chewing on the sand?
Do you think she is this sister-in-law? "
The barbarian princess rolled her eyes at Ji Chengjue and said angrily:
"You talk too much."
"Hahaha."
Obviously, the uncle and sister-in-law have a very good relationship.
The Sixth Prince has this ability to build good relationships with people. Even if the words he says are a bit harsh, they will not make people feel disgusted, but will make people feel that he is sincere.
The superior one,
In addition to the supreme being who can execute the king's way,
The rest must be added with a touch of tenderness and truth. As long as you don't wear the dragon robe, you can't lack that flavor.
The eldest prince was free and easy and said directly:
"I have nothing to do with you. I am a defeated general. Everything is what I deserve. I just treated your sister-in-law badly."
"No, no, no, no, there's no such thing as wrong or wrong, brother, just treat my sister-in-law well;
Since ancient times, it has been difficult for couples to be happy. Even in this marriage between wealthy families, how many people can be loving?
Treat my sister-in-law well, not to mention living her life as if it were a matter of course, but at least peace has the benefits of peace, harmony, and sweetness, and the life of ordinary people is also good.
Are you saying this is the reason why you are not your sister-in-law? "
The barbarian princess smiled and said calmly:
"My mother once told me that life is for you to live, husband, I don't care about that."
The eldest prince nodded after hearing this.
He did have a very good relationship with this barbarian princess, so sometimes he might suddenly feel melancholy at night that he had completely lost the possibility of seizing a legitimate son because of this marriage;
But when I saw my wife's face in her sleep, I couldn't help but feel soft again.
How can things in life be truly perfect?
"Are my siblings here?"
The barbarian princess asked Ji Chengjue.
Ji Chengjue replied:
"It should be soon. I was here first, but my wife and my brother-in-law wanted to send a pig over to make a pig-killing dish for fun, so they went to the market to pick it up first. Let's do the math. The time should be coming soon."
"Then I'll go and greet you. My younger siblings are also very good-natured and can talk to me. Sixth brother, I will bring my younger siblings here more often when I have the opportunity in the future. We, sisters-in-law, can play together and relieve our boredom."
Ji Chengjue immediately raised his hands and said:
"Dare to obey!"
After saying that, the barbarian princess got up and went to the front yard to prepare to welcome the young lady of the He family and the eldest uncle of the He family.
After she leaves,
The eldest prince glanced at Ji Chengjue and said:
"What you said before is plain and simple is true. You are actually talking about yourself."
A dignified prince marries a daughter from a butcher's family.
Ji Chengjue shook his head and said:
"I don't want to have to deal with my mother's family affairs again."
The topic has reached a sad point.
Rebellion among relatives has always been abhorrent to the emperor;
Because the power of the maternal relatives and the royal family are actually symbiotic and integrated, and the maternal relatives are attached to the imperial power.
If the foreign relatives are powerful, the imperial power will inevitably decline.
In the past, because of the numerous clans and clans, the imperial power was compressed, so the previous generations of royal families had to marry into clans. The clans themselves were powerful, and with the addition of the status of relatives, the power was naturally even more powerful.
Therefore, there is no doubt that after the Holy Emperor took back his power, he cut off his relatives and stepped on the family, and followed the development and expansion of imperial power.
But here, it is indeed filled with blood and tears. When the relatives of the family and the royal family have long been connected with branches and leaves, cutting off any one of them will hurt themselves.
The Min family is like this,
The same is true for the Tian family.
"Ten thousand barbarian cavalry have been sent over," the eldest prince said.
In fact, before the wedding, a barbarian tribe was sent over by the barbarian king.
This tribe has a population of nearly 3 people and nearly [-] string control people. Of course, the nearly [-] people here include young men and old people.
A barbarian tribe is a qualified warrior when he reaches the age of being able to ride a horse.
"The Marquis of Jingnan has made a deal long ago. 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 put forward, it was immediately well received.
Using barbarians to resist the barbarians and reduce Dayan's burden is really a good strategy for governing the world.
In addition, Marquis Jingnan spoke openly,
It was a sure thing that this barbarian tribe was sent to Jin to supplement its defense.
Nowadays, the Jingnan Army is not only responsible for the defense of the entire Three Jin Land and preventing the Jin people from rebelling, but also needs to beware of the threats from the Snowfield Savages, Chu People and Nanmen Pass.
The military strength is really stretched thin.
There is no need to guess whose hands this tribe will be sent to after it enters the Jin Dynasty.
According to reliable information, the person who ordered the massacre of the Chu army on behalf of Marquis Jingnan was none other than the newly appointed Chief of Snow Customs, Hirano Bo Zheng Fan.
in fact,
There is one thing that Uncle Zheng has always thought too superficially.
He just thought that he would give the order on behalf of the Marquis, and it would only increase the favorability and trust within the Jingnan Army.
But in the court,
The impact of this incident is actually greater.
It is almost semi-public that Pingye Bo Zheng Fan was the military successor personally chosen by Jingnan Marquis.
Moreover, many big shots know who is helping to raise Marquis Jingnan’s son.
The imperial court is still far from the time when all the good bows are hidden in the birds, and it still faces a huge threat of war, and the ability of Jingnan Marquis to lead an army on an expedition is unparalleled by anyone in the Yan Dynasty at that time.
The monarchs and ministers of Yan State would not do anything to destroy the Great Wall.
At the same time, although Zhenbei Marquis has handed over half of his military power, if you move Nanhou, you will inevitably be sad. If you move one, you will definitely alarm the other.
The triangular relationship that was previously extremely stable, from another perspective, can affect the whole body.
Therefore, stabilizing the Marquis of Jingnan has always been a top priority. Similarly, stabilizing the successor of the Marquis of Jingnan is also the key to maintaining the inheritance and stability of the Great Yan Army at Zhongshantou.
With almost no obstacles, this barbarian tribe was moved to Jin and handed over.
"Haha, my brother said in front of Zheng Fan that I would give him this dowry, but in the end, I didn't even have the qualifications to say a word.
Originally, it should have been his. "
The eldest prince said this somewhat dejectedly.
This was a trump card that he was willing to use, but who would have thought that this card had nothing to do with him at all.
"Ugh."
Ji Chengjue also let out a long sigh and said:
"Brother, isn't the opportunity right in front of you? In less than two months, you will be able to lead the army again. Last time, the horse stepped on the door and killed too quickly. After the Zhenbei Army stepped through it once, it immediately went south and entered the battlefield. .
The weeds grow too fast because of this. We, brothers, can take care of them this time. "
"Corrupt officials will be killed endlessly." The eldest prince said with emotion.
"My brother didn't say he wanted to kill them all. If they can do something, just be a little greedy. I still understand the principle of being an official for thousands of miles just for money, but there are some people in some places who are a little too greedy. You can eat it yourself." It's not okay to talk nonsense while letting rats run away from the treasury.
Just like a house, it is impossible to keep it clean all the time, and it is even more impossible to be spotless. Therefore, it must be cleaned frequently every now and then. "
"Just do whatever you say. Anyway, your eldest brother and I are half useless. If I can help you, just ask."
"Brother, let's not be in a hurry, just take your time, just take your time."
"Oh, by the way, I heard from your sister-in-law that Ke Yanbu, who was sent here by the Barbarian King this time, is very unruly."
When the barbarian king gave a dowry, it was actually considered as giving away trouble.
Naturally, it is impossible for his own direct tribe to be sent out. The Royal Court must strengthen its own strength rather than continue to weaken it.
Therefore, Keyan tribe, a tribe that had always disobeyed the royal court, became a "victim".
It is inconvenient for the Royal Court to openly conquer and kill the Keyan tribe. This will make other tribes in the desert miserable and unfavorable to the Royal Court's continued rule and transfer of power.
Therefore, in the name of sending Ke Yan's tribe to the beautiful scenery of Yan State, by sending a dowry to the bride and the threat of tens of thousands of royal cavalry, it is the safest way to force Ke Yan's tribe to accept this condition and move.
It is the habit of politicians that every needle has its purpose.
"Don't worry about this for him. The man named Zheng is not a good bird. No matter how strong the food is, he will digest it until it is numb."
For Zheng Fan, Ji Chengjue is completely at ease.
The eldest prince said again:
"I heard that someone in the court recently took part in your partiality in money and food, pretending to be public for personal gain, and using the money from the court to support your confidants."
"Oh, the wind is so strong, it even hit your ears."
"There's no smoke without fire. Besides, you told me last time that you really did it."
"Yes, yes, I have really done it, but so what, once you take power, if you don't give more benefits to your own people, who will be willing to do things for you?
Even these ministers who criticize and impeach me now will still stand by me when they need to take sides in the future. At least they can know that if they follow me, they will have meat to eat. "
"Haha, don't you even cover up in front of my brother now?"
"If you keep covering up, you will be exposed. Besides, covering up all day long will be exhausting."
The eldest prince hesitated for a moment.
Still said:
"The impeachment of you this time should not be done by the second child."
"Of course it wasn't the second brother who did it. The covenant he worked so hard to make was treated as a piece of paper. How could he be so stupid as to do this now?
As for me, I have to work hard now. When autumn comes, the money and grain 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.
It's stable, but boring. "
"How can anyone talk about my brother like that?"
"Is not it?
Oh, by the way, brother, there is one more thing that I need to discuss with you. "
"what's up?"
Ji Chengjue took out a letter from his arms, put it on the table and said:
"This is a secret letter sent to me by Xu Wenzu, the commander-in-chief of Nanwang City."
Hearing this, the eldest prince could not 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 said to be at odds with the Zhenbei Hou Mansion when he was an official in the court in the early years, but after observing During the war the year before last, he stopped the raid by the Qianguo border troops in Nanwang City. He was by no means an incompetent person, so..."
Most of the capable people don't bother to be a faggot.
"No matter who he was before, now that the Marquis of Zhenbei has handed over military power, he, Xu Wenzu, is a member of the imperial court.
People in the imperial court are people we can dig up ourselves. To tell you the truth, in relation to Xu Wenzu, I also followed Zheng Fan's path. Zheng Fan and Xu Wenzu had a good personal relationship. "
"Sixth brother, you are playing with fire."
"Then who put me on the fire?"
Ji Chengjue reached out, knocked on the envelope, and said to the eldest prince:
"Brother, do you want to see it?"
"I don't want to watch. It's not that I'm afraid, brother, but that I'm not suitable to watch."
"Look, look, it's divided, isn't it? It's divided, isn't it?"
"Sixth brother, I have discovered that you are not afraid of the second child all the time?"
"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 his father? Because he is the son-in-law of the Marquis of Zhenbei? Because he is the nephew of the Marquis of Jingnan?
Haha, the Marquis of Zhenbei is a little better, but after all, the marriage hasn't happened yet, right?
As for our father and our Marquis of Jingnan, which one of us really cares about our relatives? "
Ji Chengjue took a deep breath and breathed it out slowly:
"Brother, don't think that I am walking too fast or too arrogantly. Brother, my life or death will never depend on whether I am low-key or arrogant;
I am humble and low-key, but I am arrogant and domineering. It has nothing to do with whether my brother and I can save my life. "
"What does that have to do with?"
"Ugh..."
Ji Chengjue made a long sound,
He laughed to himself "hehehe",
Pointing to the door,
Road:
"Brother, you tell me whether it's funny or not. My life depends on the expressions of the officials from the Kingdom of Qian and the regent of the Kingdom of Chu.
If they are of no use and are wiped out by our father, then the best outcome for me, brother, is to go to the Huxin Pavilion to find my third brother to recite poems as a counterpoint;
If they can hold on, then even if my brother and I go to the palace with a knife tomorrow, our father will have to pinch his nose and pretend he didn't see it.
hiss………
It’s precisely because I’ve figured it out a long time ago that I find it absurd;
Straight bitch,
Should I expect those two to be wise masters or losers? "
