Chapter 1062 Emperor Chongping: What would Ziyu be like if he were his son?

Okay...

Palace Garden, Funing Palace

Outside the palace, the wind and rain continued, the patter of rainwater slapped the eaves and tiles, and the rain curtain was thousands of lines, but the atmosphere in the palace was quiet.

Facing the middle-aged emperor's gaze, Jia Heng said loudly: "Father, I will only mobilize the cavalry this time. In addition, the Chahar Mongol elite cavalry will go out with the army. In this way, approximately 60,000 to 70,000 elite cavalry will be mobilized.

The camp can still retain enough troops of more than 100,000 to defend the capital. As for the Hongyi cannon, it is still equipped on the warships of the Southern Navy. It is inconvenient to carry it back and forth, and it will not be used this time."

Since they are using fine cavalry to attack the bandit's lair, it is inconvenient to carry the bulky Hongyi cannon. Of course, the cavalry will bring flintlock rifles as an assault.

While Emperor Chongping was excited, he felt uneasy in his heart and said, "Ziyu, is this a deliberate move?"

As Chahar Mongolian elite cavalry, and enough troops to defend the capital, it seems that Ziyu has fully considered this, and it is not just a matter of temper.

Jia Heng said: "Father, my sons and ministers have carefully considered this matter all the way here. If I wait until next year, after I have rested and recuperated, and then pacified Qinghai, and the Jurchens have gradually regained their strength after the defeat, the situation may be even more difficult.

It’s just that all this depends on my father’s thoughts.”

After hearing this, Emperor Chongping nodded and said, "It's a very important matter, so I might have to think about it."

He is naturally inclined to send troops to the northwest, but now he has just suffered a big defeat. The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty are worried about this. Will raising troops to attack the northwest again will affect the instability of the court?

Emperor Chongping calmed down and said in deep thought: "Ziyu, how is the implementation of the Jiangnan New Deal going?"

Jia Heng said: "The New Deal has begun to clear out the father-in-law's land, and the Liangjiang Governor's Office has recently transferred officials to implement the New Deal in Jiangsu Province. However, after the defeat in the northwest, I think there will be more twists and turns."

Emperor Chongping looked a little gloomy and said: "Now the imperial court is in a difficult time, and some lucky Xiao Xiaoxiao have begun to obstruct the New Deal."

If the northwest had raised troops to achieve a victory, Jiangnan's New Deal would have been successfully implemented long ago. But once Nan'an was defeated, the New Deal would undoubtedly be cast in more shadows.

Jia Heng nodded and said: "What my father said is true. The most important thing is to use military victories to support political affairs."

Emperor Chongping looked at the young man with a gentle look, and asked: "You have been tired of traveling all the way. Concubine Rong, please ask the imperial kitchen to prepare some meals. Ziyu and I will eat and talk."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Concubine Duanrong, who was listening to the conversation between Weng and his son-in-law, responded softly, and then led several female officials out of the palace.

Emperor Chongping said warmly: "Zi Yu, over there in the northwest, tell me again how Nan'an was defeated with its troops this time?"

Jia Heng muttered: "Since Nan'an has led troops to Haiyan, he has fallen into the trap of the northwest bandits. They abandoned Haiyan and Huangyuan counties one after another, with the purpose of prompting Nan'an, Liu Fang and others to lead troops.

Go deep into Qinghai in order to cut off the grain road and attack from both front and rear."

When Emperor Chongping heard this, he said in a deep voice: "It was really well thought out. If I had listened to you, I probably wouldn't have had this big defeat."

In the last half of the emperor's sentence, his tone was actually a little weaker.

Because this is equivalent to admitting that you have made a mistake before.

Jia Heng said: "At that time, Nan'an and others were eager to try and make achievements, and most of the civil servants in the court supported them in leading the troops westward. My father was worried about the new policies in the south of the Yangtze River and was deceived by them, so he trusted Nan'an and others.

, In fact, even if my son went to Jiangnan to preside over the new policy, it would be okay, but if the commander of the expedition to the west was not Nan'an, there would not be such a big defeat."

The bottom line is that the prince of Nan'an County and others are stubborn and willful. Although the emperor made mistakes, he can be forgiven.

And the last sentence, anyone can do it except Nan'an, it even kicked Nan'an into the garbage heap.

When Emperor Chongping heard this, his heart was extremely shaken. He stared blankly at the young man under his thin and pine eyebrows. When he met that sincere look, he couldn't help but feel an inexplicable feeling of guilt in his heart.

Ziyu is... letting him get down the stairs.

A hundred thousand troops were completely wiped out in one day. How could he, the emperor and the lord of all the nine states, be so at ease?

Nowadays, in the city of Shenjing, every house is bare and every household is crying, can he still pretend to be innocent and remain indifferent?

he……

Seeing the change in Emperor Chongping's expression, Jia Heng comforted him and said: "Father, even the ancient holy emperors were not victorious in all directions. If we can conquer the barbarians from all over the world and create peace for eternity, how can this defeat be justified?"

As he spoke, he looked at Emperor Chongping with concern and said softly: "Father, you still need to take care of your dragon body."

After hearing this, Emperor Chongping calmed down again, felt a little comforted in his heart, and sighed softly.

Jia Heng then mentioned another matter and said: "When I returned to the capital, I met the empress in Kaifeng Mansion. The empress was worried after hearing about my father's affairs, and she had already turned back to the capital."

Emperor Chongping looked slightly strange and said in a warm voice: "I am not letting..."

As he spoke, he sighed lightly and said, "That's it, that's it."

Zi Tong was also worried about his health. He was not just messing around with his body and bones. He could just leave all the affairs in the northwest to Zi Yu.

At this time, Concubine Duanrong, surrounded by several palace ladies, entered the palace, raised her eyes to look at Weng and her son-in-law, and said softly: "Your Majesty, Ziyu, let's eat."

Just as Emperor Chongping was about to stand up, Jia Heng and Dai Quan hurried forward and helped Emperor Chongping to the back of the dining table.

Emperor Chongping raised his eyes to look at Concubine Duanrong and said, "Concubine Rong, please sit down and have some food together."

The noble concubine Duanrong had a bright face and said softly and softly: "Your Majesty, I am not hungry, I just need to serve your Majesty."

She could clearly feel that His Majesty was in a much better mood after Ziyu came back.

Her son-in-law made no mistake.

Jia Heng sat down at this moment, picked up the chopsticks, and started eating.

Emperor Chongping raised his eyes to look at the young man who was tired of the journey, and said: "Ziyu has been hurrying and sleeping all the way. It's really hard work."

Jia Heng put down his chopsticks and said in a warm voice: "Running around for the country, my son and I don't realize how hard it is."

It can be said that the current emperor is in a very contradictory state of mind. It seems that he feels guilty, but in fact there is still a hint of crisis hidden.

That is... He, Jia Heng, is more sage than the Emperor.

Any of his flamboyant words and deeds may cause disaster.

Emperor Chongping nodded and said warmly: "Ziyu, you mentioned earlier that you would use fine cavalry to go to the northwest to use troops. Do you have a detailed strategy for using troops?"

Jia Heng glanced at the palace maids and eunuchs on the left and right, and said in a low voice: "Father, this is the secret of the military state. How about we tell it in private?"

When Emperor Chongping saw this, he was surprised for a moment, and then he realized something in his heart and said: "What Ziyu said is right, I am impatient."

Under the curved eyebrows of Imperial Concubine Duanrong, her jade face said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Ziyu should have everything in mind."

Emperor Chongping looked intently at the young man with a clear face, and when he saw those bright and lively eyes, he felt a sense of expectation in his heart.

The young man in front of me has never fought an uncertain battle since he led the army. When has he ever been disappointed?

Jia Heng had lunch with Emperor Chongping, but Emperor Chongping still refused to let Jia Heng leave. The father-in-law and his son-in-law sat under the eaves of the corridor next to the Xuan window, watching the rain falling outside the palace.

Emperor Chongping asked: "Ziyu, when you went to Jiangnan to implement the New Deal, did you see anything and think about it?"

Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said: "For a hundred years since the founding of the country, the officials and gentry of the dynasty have established deep roots in the prefectures and counties and annexed the land. The rich have no land, and the poor have no place to stand. The atmosphere in the south of the Yangtze River is extravagant, material desires are rampant, and the officials are indulged in pleasure.

I don’t know how difficult it is for the people in the North to live and suffer from border troubles. It is urgent to get rid of the long-standing disadvantages and sweep away the chronic diseases."

When Emperor Chongping heard this, his face looked distant and he said with emotion: "Ziyu pointed directly at the vital point."

Jia Heng said: "My father is a promising king of Zhongxing. He is determined to make progress. Within twenty years, the world will be peaceful and prosperous."

Emperor Chongping shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "I am afraid that my body and bones will not be able to survive that time. I have been worried about state affairs in the past few years, so I am just trying to hold on."

Jia Heng said quickly: "My father is in his prime. As long as he takes good care of himself, he can recover quickly. I hope he doesn't have to worry too much about state affairs and harm his body. Now, as a big man, only my father has the courage and prestige to introduce new policies and eliminate old disadvantages. Even if

It is for the sake of the Han Dynasty and the common people, so your Majesty should take care of the dragon body."

In fact, this was a subconscious temptation from the Emperor. If he followed what he said, he would really be... tired of living.

And that sentence that only Emperor Chongping can implement new policies and eliminate old disadvantages infinitely highlights the importance of the emperor.

Emperor Chongping was silent for a moment, but did not answer. He looked at the curtain of rain in the courtyard and said, "Ziyu, I will entrust you with this battle in the northwest."

Jia Heng said: "Father, don't worry, but I think that Heshuote Mongolia might send envoys to ask for peace?"

"Why?" Emperor Chongping frowned slightly when he heard this and said, "Didn't Heshuote Mongolia want to invade Xining in the northwest?"

Jia Heng said: "The Heshuote Mongolian Khan Gushi Khan conquered Tibet. The person in charge of the Heshuote Mongolia in Qinghai was Dorji. If I guessed correctly, this northwest war was originally instigated by the Jurchen prince Yue Tuo.

Although they have won two consecutive victories, Xining Fucheng is still safe and sound. It is impossible for Gushi Khan to fight on both sides, and it is only a matter of time before he seeks peace."

Emperor Chongping frowned and said, "Heshuote Mongolia will seek peace, so how will our government respond?"

Jia Heng said: "By then, the civil and military forces in the DPRK will definitely be moved, and they will advise my father not to send troops to the northwest, but to recuperate and recuperate."

This is equivalent to his position always being in conflict with the civil and military officials of the Han Dynasty.

In fact, not long ago, Heshuote Mongolia had sent envoys to Xining Prefecture to convey to Jin Xuan Dorji's intention that peace talks could be held, and that the prince of Nan'an County and Liu Fang could be sent back to the gods.

Jing, exchange it for Shuo Tuo’s suggestion.

Emperor Chongping's eyes moved slightly and he couldn't help but fell into silence.

Peace talks in northwest Mongolia?

Jia Heng raised his eyes, stared intently, and asked softly: "I wonder if my father would still trust my son at that time?"

Under the eaves of the corridor, the wind and rain were blowing. Under the thick eyebrows of the young man in python suit, he looked calmly and sternly, with an indescribable sharp light.

But it just passed by for a fleeting moment, and it quickly lost its sharpness and turned into a gentle and gentle one, which did not make an emperor feel uncomfortable.

Not far away, the concubine Duanrong, who was dressed in a blue dress and had a slim and quiet figure, was serving tea. She seemed to be aware of it. She turned her head and looked at the young man with eyes filled with autumn waves.

It was an indescribable calm demeanor that was heartbreaking.

Or, the father-in-law and son-in-law are sitting across the table, and the young man's eyes are bright, calm and warm under his sharp eyebrows.

In fact, to a certain extent, it has slightly surpassed the humble status of a minister, but this situation, coupled with the status of God's son-in-law, there is an indescribable naturalness.

"I will not make peace!" Emperor Chongping said loudly as he looked into those bright eyes that were full of energy.

He will never compromise. With Ziyu here, Northwest can and must win.

Only by winning the battle can the New Deal be implemented smoothly, and there will be no situation where the northwest and Liaodong will unite and conflict again next year.

Jia Heng stood up and bowed his hands to the middle-aged emperor. His voice was firm and firm: "Father, don't worry, I will not let you down."

Emperor Chongping's heart was shaken. He stared at the young man who was bowing down in the slanting wind and drizzle. He looked like an indomitable pine tree. For some reason, a sense of loss suddenly arose in his heart.

How great would it be if Ziyu were his son?

This Jiuzhou Wanfang...

With this thought, the emperor's heart suddenly jumped. Before he could think about it, the voice of Concubine Duanrong, laughing and whispering suddenly came to his ears. The cold jade sound mixed with the charming voice of a married woman had an indescribable feeling.

They complemented each other and said: "Your Majesty, let's have some tea."

Then, Qiu Bo's bright eyes looked at the young man, and his voice was as gentle as the gentle breeze and drizzle, and he said: "Ziyu also uses tea."

Emperor Chongping said: "Ziyu, please sit down first."

Jia Heng sat down again, picked up the tea cup, and took a sip.

Jia Heng stayed with Emperor Chongping until night fell and a bright moon hung high in the sky. Then Jia Heng left the palace and headed outside the palace.

"What should I say?" Chen Xiao rode on the horse, stared at the young man, and said softly.

Jia Heng said in a low voice: "Go back first and wait for the next two days to see what direction the court is in."

It can be expected that there will be another quarrel about war or peace.

But this time the emperor stood by his side, and this time Qian Gang was arbitrary. If he won a big victory, Emperor Chongping would be somewhat relieved.

It's not that Qian Gang's arbitrary judgment is wrong, but that he made the wrong decision.

Ningguo Mansion

In the back house, the lights were bright and bright, and three beauties in gold hairpin sarongs were sitting around a small table, talking in a low voice.

Qin Keqing was dressed in a light yellow dress, with a wooden hairpin fixed on top of her head. Her hair was scattered behind her shoulders. Her gorgeous face like peony petals became more plump and beautiful as her body got heavier. At this moment, she was half Lying on the soft couch, he was talking to Mr. You, Second Sister You, and Third Sister You.

"Everyone in Beijing is saying that the uncle has returned to Beijing." Third Sister You said softly.

Youshi said: "The second master of Xifu said that the palace issued an imperial edict to urgently summon him back."

Qin Keqing gently held his forehead, seeming a little sleepy, and said: "Not long after arriving in the south of the Yangtze River, something happened in the northwest."

As her belly grew bigger day by day, Qin Keqing became more and more sleepy.

At this moment, the nanny from outside entered the hall and said happily: "Grandma, Uncle Heng is back."

When Qin Keqing heard this, her heart was shaken, she opened her beautiful eyes, her beautiful jade face was filled with joy, and she said, "Go and have a look."

Sanjie You said happily: "Sister Qin, let me go and have a look."

After saying that, she trotted out of the house, which made Youshi smile and said: "Third sister, you are like a child looking forward to the adult's return."

Second Sister You also smiled and said in a soft voice: "In the eyes of the uncle, my sister is not just like a child."

Youshi glanced at Second Sister You, her eyes flashed, and her heart moved slightly.

The second sister of my family is probably also interested. After all, she is one year older than the third sister, but her life has not yet been decided.

After a while, in the spacious courtyard, under the misty lights in the rain and fog, a tall and tall young man with an impressive figure came holding an umbrella. The lanterns on both sides of the corridor went away one by one, reflecting the sword-browed and bright eyes. , a face that is sometimes bright and sometimes dark.

"Uncle." Sanjie You almost whispered, and she rushed over quickly. Tears of joy appeared on her beautiful face, and said: "Uncle, you are back."

Although Jia Heng went to Jiangnan, it seemed that he didn't have much time, but more than a month had passed, and he had been postponed again and again as he had agreed to accept him.

Jia Heng put his arms around Third Sister You's fragrant body, lowered his eyes to look at the trembling shoulders, and said with relief: "Third Sister, it's okay, I'm back."

In fact, we were so anxious to set off at the beginning that the third sister Nayu's visit didn't happen.

After all, she is his own woman. Although she is a bit fierce, few others can match her unswerving fierceness.

Jia Heng felt relieved for a while, then looked at the tearful beauty, gently wiped her tears, and said: "Okay, stop crying, come inside, it's raining a lot here..."

Third Sister You said "Yes", took the handkerchief to wipe away her tears, took Jia Heng's hand, and said with a hint of sob in her voice: "Sister is in the house, please come over."

Jia Heng nodded, and followed Sanjie You into the hall. He felt that the room was as bright as day, with pearls shining like jade, and green flowers flowing like flowers.

At this moment, Qin Keqing, supported by Mrs. You and Second Sister You, had a swollen belly, stared at the young man with bright eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "Husband, are you back?"

She was pregnant alone at home, and after more than a month, her husband finally came back.

"I'm back." Jia Heng said softly, smiled, stepped forward to hold the beauty's hand, and said, "But Qing, how are you doing lately?"

Qin Keqing said softly: "Everything is fine. My husband just came back from the palace?"

Jia Heng held the beauty's hand, sat on the soft couch, and said softly: "I just went to meet with the Holy One and talked about the northwest."

Qin Keqing said: "Husband, over there in the northwest, word has spread all over Beijing these days. Do you want to go to the northwest to fight?"

It's like this every time I come back, I've traveled thousands of miles to fight in the army.

Jia Heng looked at his wife's plump and lovely face, couldn't help pinching her pink cheeks, and said, "Yeah, I won't be able to stay at home for a few days this time."

Since Keqing became pregnant, he has been traveling here and there and owes her a lot.

"Husband, please go. The child and I are at home." Qin Keqing stretched out her hand to caress her swollen belly, and her plump face showed the gentle charm of motherhood.

Sanjie You said coquettishly at the side: "Some time ago, the old pious woman from the Nan'an family went to Xifu to show off to the old lady. Now something like this has happened, and the uncle has to go to the northwest to clean up his mess."

Jia Heng asked: "Has Princess Nan'an been in the mansion these days?"

Qin Keqing said softly: "I went to the old lady's place, but she hasn't been seen in the past two days."

Jia Heng said: "You don't have to be like that long-tongued woman."

I don’t know if the classic plot in the original work will be reproduced. Princess Nan’an comes to Rongguo Mansion to propose marriage to Tan Chun?

Probably not, after all, people would not be so shameless...
