Chapter 162 Sealing(1/2)
Fang Chengzhong couldn't laugh or cry: "Yeah, too."
"Yes, yes. There are many hunters in the mountains, and there are also ferocious people in the poor mountains and rivers. Although they are difficult to tame..."
The staff member on the side stroked his beard and said: "Vice General Fang, does he know that there was once a famous general Qiu Guang who recruited troops in Chouzhou. He is famous for his bravery in battle and fear of life and death. Do you know why he recruited troops in Chouzhou?"
Speaking of these things, how could it be that the dignified lieutenant general didn't know about them?
"Because Chouzhou is poor," Fang Chengzhong said.
"Yes! Because Chouzhou is poor, giving them a bowl of rice can make them fight for their lives. The poor people in the poor mountains and rivers are unscrupulous, but the people they produce are also brave and hard to compete with!"
The aide said with a twinkle in his eye: "Your Highness will recruit troops in the future?"
The military power in King Xuan's hands was actually scary enough.
This is why Emperor Liang De loved him and was afraid of him.
But since ancient times, in order to ascend to the throne, one has to pass on the throne through the emperor. The so-called divine mandate is a matter of course.
What if the emperor refuses to pass on the throne?
Then mutiny is the only way to go.
The ancients believed in following "orthodoxy" in everything.
Mutiny is not orthodox.
King Xuan had Xuanwu Army, Zhongyong Camp and Xuanjia Guard under his command.
Now the Anxi Army has also divided most of them under his command.
But the Xuanwu Army and the Zhongyong Camp were awarded by the emperor.
The Anxi Army had a history of rebellion.
The Xuanjia Guards were the true elites of King Xuan, and they were also King Xuan’s confidants.
If you want to embark on that treacherous path, raising these soldiers is not enough...
You must know that the emperor himself was a general who fought on horseback.
There are also good generals like Zhao Guogong around him.
"It's not easy to raise so many soldiers..." the staff sighed.
"But Yizhou is so big that it is far better than Bianzhou." Xue Qingyin said again.
"That's true."
"Yizhou is remote..." the staff member smiled, "Some big things require hiding to do well."
Xue Qingyin nodded: "The sky is high and the emperor is far away. The more remote the place, the less awe the people there have towards the emperor."
King Xuan answered calmly: "Well, this is why rebellions have always started from the border areas since ancient times."
"Everyone knows that the mother of the side concubine is a merchant, so her words are inevitably despicable. It is for this reason that Your Majesty refuses to grant the position of principal concubine. But today, I have been asked to wait and see..." The staff couldn't help it.
praise.
While they were talking, they were still sighing in their hearts.
How did Xue Qingyin spread throughout the capital in the first place?
She has no beauty, is weak and pampered, and has no ideas on her chest...
Your Highness must have a discerning eye!
Carrying His Majesty's dissatisfaction, I only admitted this person into the mansion.
"Your Highness, Your Majesty is here in person." The palace attendant's voice sounded outside the door.
Everyone's expressions changed slightly.
The staff member smiled helplessly and said: "Whatever you say comes true..."
They bowed respectfully to King Xuan and Xue Qingyin, and then retreated through the side door.
Not long after, Emperor Liang De came to the main hall of the palace.
Emperor Liang De walked hurriedly and said in a low voice: "There is no need to greet me, you can just sit down."
After he finished speaking, he asked: "How is the concubine doing?"
Xue Qingyin said nothing.
Liang Dedi smiled and said: "Are you afraid now that you know it? I have whipped Ju Xing hard for you."
He paused and said: "Besides... I also brought a few things."
Emperor Liang De waved his hand.
Naturally, someone brought two lacquerware trays behind me.
On one of them are costumes and crowns.
On top of the other were two imperial edicts stacked.
"Look?" Emperor Liang De raised his chin to Xue Qingyin.
Xue Qingyin was about to raise her hand.
King Xuan held the back of her hand, helped her take it, and then unfolded it...
"Your Majesty wants to make me Princess Xuan?"
Emperor Liang De nodded.
Xue Qingyin frowned and said: "I'm afraid this is inconsistent with etiquette..."
"You have suffered such a big sin, why shouldn't you?" Liang Dedi paused, "Why don't you look very happy?"
Xue Qingyin lowered her eyes and said: "There is nothing good about being Princess Xuan. You have to follow the rules in everything..."
Emperor Liang De laughed: "Then I will allow you to disobey your etiquette and allow you not to follow the rules in everything? Don't say any more childish words. When you get to the fiefdom, if you don't have the status of princess, how can the subordinates of the palace be willing to do so?
Do you like it?"
Xue Qingyin said nothing.
At that moment, Liang Dedi even doubted whether Xue Qingyin had understood his hand in it...
Emperor Liang De patiently coaxed: "Let's take a look at another imperial edict..."
"It's nothing more than giving my mother a royal decree." Xue Qingyin said.
Emperor Liang De: "..." "Look at what you are saying? It's nothing more than what others ask for."
Xue Qingyin asked: "How many grades is it?"
"See for yourself."
Xue Qingyin looked angry.
Emperor Liang De said helplessly: "Your father is of a certain rank, so naturally your mother will also be granted a royal title."
"They all made peace." Xue Qingyin whispered.
"Yes, but I have my will, who dares to disagree?"
The emperor also thought that she was saying that it was not in line with etiquette to grant a royal decree to the queen.
Xue Qingyin said: "Anyway, we have reconciled, so there is no need to live up to my father's rank. Can you give me a first-class title for my mother-in-law?"
Emperor Liang De: "..."
This is what you mean by feelings.
First grade.
How dare you ask for it.
However, Emperor Liang De's suspicion was dispelled.
This is still Xue Qingyin's temperament and has not changed at all.
He is very arrogant and refuses to suffer even the slightest loss.
If she really knew what he was doing, she would be afraid of and hate him.
How dare you say these words?
"Okay, okay, one product is another product." Emperor Liang De said angrily: "I'm afraid others will be suspicious of what I have in mind for your mother..."
It is not like the ancestor Taizu had never set such a precedent during his time.
But that was because the late Taizu fell in love with someone else’s mother.
"Your Majesty, with a clear conscience, what are you afraid of?" Xue Qingyin raised her eyes and said crisply.
Emperor Liang De's eyes flashed, and something in his heart was touched.
After Xue Qingyin said this, she felt a little more energetic.
She said unhappily: "Your Majesty doesn't know, but now that I think about drinking that cantharis, I still feel like vomiting."
