Chapter 60 9 Prince Servants

"Report, my servant Liu Yong has something to report." A voice suddenly came from the door of the study.

Liu Yong is the new personal eunuch sent by Concubine Guo Gui to the Ninth Prince's side. He is flustered at this moment, anxious to talk to the Ninth Prince in private.

When the Ninth Prince saw him, he asked him to bow his head. After hearing his whisper, the Ninth Prince was furious, "Bitch, how dare you bully my mother, go, I'll go back!" He didn't say goodbye to the two present, and got up directly Just leave, it can be seen that something urgent happened.

Zhao Yuansong and Changyu's son looked at each other, and Changyu's son left after confirming the matter of the vajra vine.In the evening, Feng Jingde came back from Biezhuang and brought the latest news about the Ninth Prince. "There was news in the palace that Concubine Jiang assassinated the Ninth Prince and framed Concubine Guo to cause a concubine to be pregnant. The Ninth Prince found out the truth and passed on all the evidence to the Emperor. The Emperor was furious and beat Concubine Jiang to death. Into the cold palace."

"This kind of thing happened." Zhao Yuansong suddenly realized, no wonder the Ninth Prince left in a hurry.

"It's spring now, but Puyang County has encountered heavy snow. Qin Tianjian used to say that the auspicious snow will bring a good year, but now it has become a snow disaster. Jiang Pai may want to help Concubine Jiang recover this time, and they are supporting the third prince to lead the team to Puyang County Disaster relief."

Feng Jingde unfolded the map after sitting on the desk, Zhao Yuansong leaned over and saw the part circled by his fingers, and asked, "Is Puyang County bordering on the territory of the Xiongnu?"

"Yes, and the snowfall area is extensive this time." Feng Jingde pointed his finger at the Huns, "This is a branch of the Tuoba tribe. The leader that Nanpo beheaded, now his younger brother Tuoba Tiantai is the new leader, he may take the opportunity to avenge his brother and go south to invade." In the previous life, there was only a peasant uprising in Puyang County, and Tuoba Mengge did not die in battle. He took his tribe and migrated to the vicinity of the Xianbei tribe, and was finally annexed by the Xianbei tribe.

Seeing his worried face, Zhao Yuansong blinked and asked, "General, do you want to go to Puyang?"

There are still so many military generals in the court, so Feng Jingde can only stay at home.He touched Zhao Yuansong's head and said, "No, I'm just afraid that the third prince and the others will not think of this. If they are not prepared, the common people will suffer more."

A hero has the world in his heart, not to mention his male god!

Zhao Yuansong lowered his eyes to think, then suddenly raised his head and said: "General, you wait, I will definitely let you go to the battlefield."

Feng Jingde saw that Hei Putao's eyes were full of support for him, and his heart throbbed. He couldn't help but hugged him on his lap, kissed his forehead, and joked: "No one's wife wants her husband to go to the battlefield. Death, do you really want your husband to go to the battlefield?" At this moment, he didn't realize what Zhao Yuansong was going to do, and he thought he was just comforting himself.

Zhao Yuansong blushed a lot, and buried his face on Feng Jingde's shoulder and neck, "General, I think you were 'born' on the battlefield."

Everyone's values ​​are different, and his Feng Jingde is indeed more suitable for the battlefield.Feng Jingde was moved that he could understand himself, but that was just him in the last life, in this life, besides protecting his family and country, he wanted to protect the people in his arms more.

In the 13th year of Jianping, on the ninth day of April, there are refugees in the suburbs of Kyoto.Zhao Yuansong asked Dashu to inquire about the situation, only to learn that not only Puyang County was affected by the disaster, but also that the adjacent Yanzhou had an earthquake, and the affected area had expanded to the eastern part of Jishui County and screen recording and other places.When Zhao Yuansong rushed back to Duke Ding's mansion, Duke Ding had already received the letter from Feige, and Feng Jingde was discussing with Duke Ding about the resettlement of the victims. Call into the study.

"There is definite news from Jishan Pass that the Daxie tribe of the Xiongnu has begun to gather again. It is obvious that they want to take advantage of this natural disaster to catch Beixuan by surprise." Dingguo Gong's eyebrows are heavy, "The situation in the court is now over. The Jiang faction and the Shangshu Linggu faction became opposed, and the Jiang faction will not be mentioned. The Shangshuling Guyan is the main peace faction. After requisitioning food, if the ancient faction still needs to collect food from the people in order to quell the war, my father fears that the world will be in chaos."

Ding Guogong was far-sighted and worried about the country and the people, which made Zhao Yuansong even more awe-inspiring.

Feng Jingwei took it very seriously, and said firmly: "Father, don't worry, above the court, my son has already greeted them with Wei Weiling. If the Huns really dare to invade the south, my son will try my best to fight for this expedition."

Duke Ding was very pleased, and praised Feng Jingwei: "Okay, Boss, you are now the only one in the family with an official position, and the affairs of the court depend entirely on you."

"It's just..." Mrs. Dingguo hesitated, "The general has resigned from the post of commander-in-chief, and the deployment of the Tiangang army is only at the command of the general. The Tiangang army has [-] soldiers, and Beixuan has almost [-]% of its troops. They can't move the Tiangang army." , I’m afraid that someone in the court will use this as an argument.”

Deng Mian snorted unhappily: "The soldiers of the Tiangang Army are the people of Jishui County. Even if they let the Tiangang Army disband, they will return to Jishui to farm. I really don't understand. The Tiangang Army doesn't ask the treasury for money and food. , Killing the enemy is always at the forefront, but they just don't like us, and they must weaken the Tiangang Army!"

Feng Jingde thought for a while and suggested: "Father, why don't you take advantage of the cold spring in the north, and Jishui County is also affected, and use the reason that the county residents want to expand farming, and return to farming after losing their armor?"

Everyone looked at Feng Jingde in unison. The establishment of the Tiangang Army has gone through three generations. It is not the power that is important, but the spirit of the Feng family and the persistence of the Feng family.The meaning of the existence of the Tiangang Army is to defend the country, and the will of the court is not unanimous. At that time, the Tiangang Army will be the hope of the people.

Feng Jingde explained: "This is an expedient measure. The emperor is getting old day by day, and the princes are gradually growing up. Although the father delegated power, he still has a reputation, and there is also the Tiangang Army. Yuan Song and the Ninth Prince got close, and the Ninth Prince It can be regarded as the prince's faction, the emperor knows that the Jiang faction is getting more and more powerful, Jiang Guifei committed a crime and was thrown into the cold palace, but he was not deprived of the position of noble concubine."

Feng Jingyan shouted in horror: "Could it be that the emperor wants the third prince to be the emperor?"

Zhao Yuansong understood, "No, the emperor is afraid of death, afraid that others will take his throne. Because I also represent the Dingguo government, and I am indirectly close to the prince, and I am suspected of secretly strengthening the power. The emperor keeps Jiang faction, more It is to check and balance the Duke of Dingguo. Therefore, if the Huns really come to invade the south again, the chance of the elder brother taking command is very slim." Zhao Yuansong felt that Feng Jingde was really talented, and looked at him with bright eyes, "The general's so-called fading Jia Huan Geng is just a cover-up, the 'weakened' Tiangang army will make the emperor more at ease, so that the emperor's attention will be shifted to Jiang faction, so that he will no longer prevent the eldest brother from taking command of the expedition."

Feng Da and Feng Lao San understood instantly, but Deng Mian was confused. He said, "It's easy for you to say, there is a plain on the other side of Jishan Pass. If there is no Tiangang Army's [-] troops to deter, the Huns will attack every time they go south to rob. Jishan Pass."

Zhao Yuansong was worried about Deng Mian's low IQ, "Deng Heixiong, you are really tall and not brainy!"

"Fuck, second sister-in-law, you're talking about me again. Second brother, don't worry about it!" Deng Mian hated Zhao Yuansong the most, and would taunt him at every turn. Both he and the ninth prince had been "personally attacked" by him.

Zhao Yuansong turned his head and saw that Feng Jingde's eyes were full of doting, and immediately smiled proudly at Deng Mian.

Deng Mian rolled his eyes feebly, a bunch of "fuck" swiped the screen in his mind.

Zhao Yuansong: "It is said that removing armor and plowing is a way of blinding the eyes. Is the Tiangang Army not the Tiangang Army if they take off their shirts? Besides, our rattan ball fire bomb has been successfully developed, and we need someone to mass-produce it. There is also the cultivation of millet and barley. These are also the most important things. If the Huns dare to attack Jishan Pass, then put on the battle robe and ask them to try our sepak takraw fire bombs."

Zhao Yuansong thought about it again, "Two days ago, I sent Xiao Wu and Gong Duo to Xiyi, and asked their leaders to do the Vajra Vine business. The journey is not far from Xiyi to Jishan Pass. Can the Ninth Prince say Your Majesty Tong, it is best to open the salt market to Xiyi, if not, we can also trade with them with small rattan ball fire bombs to improve their combat power and make them a barrier between Beixuan and the Xiongnu."

"Hahaha, okay, okay, Song'er's mind is quick." Dingguo Gong stroked his beard and smiled. Beixuan controls asbestos, and it is difficult for foreigners to imitate takraw ball fire bombs.Trading arms with them will not only win the favor of Xiyi leaders, but also faintly reveal Beixuan's national prestige.

The small takraw ball fire bombs were less powerful, although they armed the Western Yi, they also supported their expansion to the land of the Xiongnu in a disguised form.If it is possible, the Tiangang army will conduct a few joint military exercises in the open space outside the pass, and use the catapult to throw powerful fire bombs. It will definitely deter the Xiyi people and make them dare not have a heart of disobedience to Beixuan. "Let's do it like this."

Zhao Yuansong went to the palace to study with the Ninth Prince again. His Majesty the Emperor heard that he had come up with the idea of ​​opening a salt market to Xiyi in exchange for Vajra Vine, so he specially came to chat with him. Just as the conversation started, someone from the palace came to report something happened in Puyang County.The third prince clashed with the common people during the disaster relief, and the common people did not receive the relief food, so they rose up and started rebelling.

There is civil strife in Puyang County, and the third prince is still at the border. As long as the Xiongnu seize the third prince as a hostage, they can wantonly blackmail Beixuan.Is that what the General is worried about?

Zhao Yuansong originally wanted to use the Vajra Treasure Clothing method to exchange the opportunity of his general to lead the army again with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.Unexpectedly, the plan couldn't keep up with the changes, the Ninth Prince heard that something happened in Puyang, he jumped out and asked for orders: "Father, I can't do anything else, the martial arts are still pretty good, you can send my son to Puyang to support the third brother. "

The grievance has a head and a debtor, and the Ninth Prince wants to use this to suppress the Third Prince's mother and son.

His Majesty the Emperor was angry that the third prince had messed up the disaster relief, and when he heard the bold words of the ninth prince, he immediately exploded, "Are you good at martial arts? Then have you ever beaten your second brother in a competition! Are you good at martial arts? What about last time?" How could he be frightened and fainted when he was assassinated!"

The Ninth Prince's face turned hot, and he poked his neck and said, "You don't need to compare yourself with others, among the six arts of a gentleman, the son-in-law is the best in martial arts!"

Kneeling silently behind, Zhao Yuansong read with Gu Buan: "..." Your Highness, are you praising yourself?

"You still have the guts to say it!" His Majesty pointed to the half-empty plum blossom cheese on the table, hurting his son, "I think you only know how to eat, but you are also good at martial arts. I'm afraid you can't even beat your companion. "

The Ninth Prince's eyes turned red in an instant, and he cried: "Yes, my son is just stupid and can only eat, he is not as good as his elder brothers, so I disappointed Father." The Ninth Prince wiped his eyes, sniffed again, "But I still want to do something for my father, so as not to worry my father too much. My son is quite stupid, but my son has Zhao Yuansong. He has guarded Changyang Pass before, so he must have a way to suppress the rebellion."

Zhao Yuansong didn't expect the Ninth Prince to drag him into the water, and raised his head to meet His Majesty the Emperor's eyes.He quickly lowered his head and said respectfully: "At that time, I was just relying on having a wife."

"Zhao Yuansong!" The Ninth Prince was very dissatisfied that he did not stand up to support himself.

Zhao Yuansong raised his head slightly and saw the injured eyes of the Ninth Prince. He pursed his lips and raised his head to look directly at His Majesty the Emperor. "My husband is good at war. If your majesty can let you accompany me, I will definitely put down this rebellion."

"Oh? Are you so sure?" His Majesty the Emperor saw Zhao Yuansong's face that resembled that of Princess Shuangling, and all anger disappeared.

"Yes, Your Majesty, you also know about my nephew's ability. If you have to use force to suppress, I believe that he will definitely control the casualties to a minimum. As for appeasing the hearts of the people, I can't give a specific plan right now. I can only go to the local area to see There is a solution to the actual situation.”

His Majesty the Emperor half-closed his eyes and began to meditate.

Zhao Yuansong looked at the angry face of the Ninth Prince, and said again: "His Royal Highness has clashed with the people, which damaged the reputation of the royal family. This time His Highness Ninth Prince leads a team to host, and will definitely establish a great image of the Emperor loving the people like a son in the hearts of the people. , to save the royal family's face."

What Zhao Yuansong said was that after the matter is completed, all the credit goes to the Ninth Prince, and he and Feng Jingde don't take half of it.

His Majesty the Emperor opened his eyes, his eyes flashed treacherously, and he fixedly looked at Zhao Yuansong: "What if you can't do it?"

Zhao Yuansong kowtowed: "The humble minister is at the discretion of the emperor."
