The military general is in the filial piety period, if the situation is urgent, he can also go to the battle, the official department Shangshu said this is just a euphemism, the actual situation is clear to everyone, this generation of An Guogong has never been on the battlefield, and he has no ability to deal with the Tartars at all.
"The Tartars invade in winter, which is contrary to common sense, and the minister thinks that this matter is not as simple as plundering grain and grass."
Chen Shichang, the right minister, said, "The minister thinks that the person in command must be carefully considered. ” The news came too suddenly, and there was no time to discuss, so Emperor Chunde asked everyone to go back and write an excerpt, and discuss it again tomorrow morning.
Xiao Chengjun frowned slightly, An Guogong couldn't fight during the filial piety period, so it was reasonable to let Lou Jing go out for his father, after all, the Jinzhou Army has always been controlled by the Lou family, why is no one mentioning it now.
"The emperor was weakening the Lou family's power in Jinju a few years ago."
Lou Jing sneered, this situation was also expected by him, although Emperor Chunde had always admired his ability, but let him go on the expedition, I am afraid it was reluctant.
When Xiao Chengjun heard this, his heart jumped, if his father could weaken the power of the Lou family, then the death of the old An Guogong "The emperor must know about grandpa's affairs," Lou Jing sandwiched a xiaolongbao for His Royal Highness King Min, it was early today, and he had breakfast with Xiao Chengjun in the palace before he had time to go to the yamen, "As for whose instructions, it is still unclear." ” The death of Lao An Guogong has not yet been understood, and the situation on the border is so treacherous, Xiao Chengjun intuitively felt the danger, "This time, I can't let you go." ” "It's okay," Lou Jing took a bite of the bun, "If you let me go, I'll be careful." ” Xiao Chengjun shook his head, today the right minister suddenly said such a thing, he was afraid that he was not here, but in any case, he couldn't let Lou Jing go until the matter was clear.
Even the conspiracy that Lao An Guogong couldn't parry, can Lou Jing handle it After breakfast, Lou Jing went to the yamen, and Xiao Chengjun asked someone to deliver the news to Zuo Xiang and meet him at noon.
After leaving the court, Chen Shichang went to the imperial study, with Sun Liang, the secretary of the military department.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter is a little strange, and it can't be that the Tartars have started internal strife," Chen Shichang said with a solemn face, "The minister thinks that he can send an envoy to negotiate with the Tartar King." ” "The Tartars have already hit the border, how can they negotiate" Emperor Chunde frowned, "The son of the Lou family was taught by Lao An Guogong, let him go."
"That's what it meant today, who would have thought that no one would mention letting Lou Jing go, so he had to go down to the court early and mention these people.
"Your Majesty, there are some things that the ministers don't know whether to say or not."
Chen Shichang hesitated.
"There's nothing wrong with that."
Emperor Chunde waved his hand and let him have something to say.
"The minister heard that when the prince of Anguo was the crown princess, he had a very good relationship with His Royal Highness the King of Min," Chen Shichang looked at Emperor Chunde's face and said, carefully worded, "The Lou family has been operating in Jinzhou for several generations, and the foundation is solid, just like Jingnan waiting for the southeast, and now the position of the central government is undecided, and the minister is a little worried." ” Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Emperor Chunde hesitated a little.
In the final analysis, he abolished Xiao Chengjun's position as the crown prince because he felt that this son had never been close to him, and he did things without leakage, which made him feel uneasy.
And the old An Guogong is the confidant of the first emperor, since he ascended the throne, he has always wanted to weaken the power of the Lou family, but the old fox has no handle to catch.
Now, if Lou Jing and Xiao Chengjun are close Sun Liang stood aside silently, without interjecting a word, until the right minister gave him a look, and then he spoke: "This time the attack is a small group of Tartars, there is no need to mobilize the Jinzhou army, the minister thinks that he only needs to point a general and use 20,000 soldiers to pacify." ” "If it is a small group of attacks, the minister has an idea," Chen Shichang continued, "Now that the two princes have reached the age of being crowned kings, it is better to let the princes go on the expedition, one is noble, you can talk to the Tartar king, and the other is also to give the young princes a chance to make meritorious contributions, and they will become princes in the future, so that they can have a rhetoric." ” These days, because the four princes have a pair of children, and they are raised under the queen's knees, and their identities are equivalent, Emperor Chunde is too troublesome to set up the three princes, and some are biased towards the establishment of the four princes as the crown princes, no wonder the right minister is a little anxious.
Emperor Chunde glanced at Chen Shichang and pondered for a moment, "You go, I have my own decision." ” It was too late, Chen Shichang didn't say much, and led Sun Liang out of the imperial study.
In the evening, Xiao Chengjun got the news of Sun Liang, and while he was relieved, he was also worried, and the right minister strongly recommended the prince to go on the expedition, in order to calculate who wanted the third prince to take the opportunity to make military achievements, or to harm the fourth prince, or "The news from Jinzhou," Lou Jing handed a letter to Xiao Chengjun, "Look at it." ” The Lou family is deeply rooted in Jinju, and the news must be more accurate.
When the envelope was opened, the letter paper delicately described the time, place, and damage caused by the Tatar invasion, as well as the response of the imperial court.
But it turned out that on the eighth day of the first month, there was already a small group of people looting at the border, and then there were tens of thousands of troops, burning and looting in the three northern counties of Jinju, the garrison of Jinzhou was originally under the commander of the old Anguo Gong, and now it is temporarily under the jurisdiction of Jinzhou Thorn History, and Jinzhou Thorn History has not made any big moves so far, just blindly defending.
The assassin is the largest official in a state, not only in charge of civilian duties, but also in command of military power.
After Wang Jian's death a few years ago, he changed to the current history of thorns, and his life is far from Wang Jian.
Xiao Chengjun's brows couldn't help frowning even tighter, "Jinzhou Assassin History, why is it so inactive?"
"This person is a civil official from a poor background, he has never led a soldier, what the imperial court meant at the beginning was that Jinzhou was guarded by An Guogong, and there was no need to send a civil and military assassin."
Lou Jing picked up the cup of His Royal Highness King Min and took a sip of tea, pouting.
The feudal official, who is not a stunning and brilliant figure, but the court unjustly killed the capable Wang Jian, replaced by such a sour Confucian, and did not act to let the old An Guogong be killed, and now the Tartar invasion is at a loss, and I don't know who to blame Xiao Chengjun frowned, took out the pamphlet that King Jing had copied for him, rummaged through it carefully, and found the name of the Jinzhou Assassin in a short time, "This person is also the protégé of the right minister." ” Come to think of it, back then, the left and right sides were playing games, and the right side was ruthless, and Wang Jian was killed on trumped-up charges, so he would naturally replace it with his manpower.
"Don't worry," Lou Jing took the person into his arms and kissed the heart of the frowning brow, "If the emperor wants you to go on the expedition, I will definitely protect you." ” Xiao Chengjun shook his head, "Kaichun is going to the fiefdom, my father won't send me, I'm just worried that the military power of Jinzhou will be touched by the right minister." ” Because of the Lou family, even if the right minister planted the assassin in the past, he still couldn't get the military power of Jinju, and he could only mobilize some soldiers and horses at a critical moment.
"No," Lou Jing shook his head and dragged His Royal Highness King Min back to the inner room, "There are 100,000 people in the Jinzhou army, and the right minister is not so stupid, if you fight that idea at this time, the emperor will definitely be suspicious." ” As it turned out, Lou Jing was right.
The next day, a minister mentioned that the prince should be sent to the expedition.
"This Tartar invasion is contrary to common sense, and the minister thinks that when a noble prince is sent there, one can appease the people, and the other can negotiate with the Tartar king."
Right Prime Minister Chen Shichang said loudly.
"The minister seconded the proposal."
"The minister seconded the proposal."
For a time, many ministers agreed.
Because there are not many enemy troops this time, the danger is not high, and it is a good opportunity to make meritorious contributions, ordinary generals naturally dare not compete with the prince for this beautiful difference.
"That being the case, who of the princes is willing to go" Emperor Chunde's gaze swept over the three princes in the hall.
Xiao Chengzheng, the fourth prince, hesitated for a moment, and recalled what the eldest brother whispered to him before the early dynasty, "If someone wants you to go on an expedition, you must not accept it." ” Xiao Chengzheng has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he is very yearning for killing the enemy on the field, and now he is naturally unwilling to let go of the great opportunity.
Besides, he said before that he would make him the crown prince, but he couldn't stand up because he had no merit, so he turned his head and looked at the three princes who were about to move, and he was struggling in his heart.
Why did the eldest brother say that to him?
suddenly remembered what Uncle Guangcheng told him that the eldest prince was deposed as the crown prince, and he must be looking forward to reinstatement, so he would never really help other brothers to seize the throne of the prince.
The third prince Xiao Chengduo took half a step forward, and before he came out of the ranks, the fourth prince had already stepped out first, "Erchen is willing to go" After speaking, he glanced at the third prince slightly sideways, but found that the person had put his foot back again, and his heart was suddenly shocked.
Xiao Chengjun saw all this in his eyes, and couldn't help but close his eyes, the fourth emperor brother didn't believe him after all.

Since only the four princes were willing to go, Emperor Chunde praised it, so he settled down and sent a general to assist, and the fourth prince Xiao Chengzheng was in charge, and went to Jinju three days later.
"Father, did the sons do something wrong" The fourth prince went down to the court, didn't dare to talk to Xiao Chengjun, and went directly to Fengyi Palace to see Ji Xi.
Empress Ji was silent, and said for a long time, "The matter has come to this, be careful in everything." ” "Father, before the early dynasty, the eldest brother once advised his sons not to agree" Xiao Chengzheng did not regret agreeing to go on the expedition, this was the opportunity he had been looking forward to for a long time, but Xiao Chengjun's words and Xiao Chengduo's actions made him a little apprehensive.
Ji Chu looked at the four princes who were eager to try and full of anxiety in front of him, and sighed heavily, "You are already a father, you should know what you want to do."
"Even if they are all princes raised by his side, when they encounter a battle for the throne, they still can't trust each other after all.
Three days later, the fourth prince Xiao Chengzheng took a hundred personal soldiers to take command, because it was not a large army to leave Beijing, Emperor Chunde did not come in person, and the king of Min saw him off.
"Be careful when you go."
Xiao Chengjun poured a bowl of wine for the four emperor brothers and drank with him.
"Brother Huang, don't worry, my brother will definitely come back with a great success" Xiao Chengzheng smiled heartily and raised his head to dry the spirits.
Xiao Chengjun stood with his hands in his hands, watching the hundred cavalry disappear from the dust, and the red tassels on the hats and helmets of the four princes gradually disappeared into the smoke and dust in the sky.
"But you want me to protect him" Lou Jing dressed in a short fight, pretending to be a guard to join in the fun.
Jinju is under his control, if he greets the Jinzhou sergeant, the four princes will not suffer anything, and they will be relatively much safer.
Xiao Chengjun shook his head gently, he gave birth to a brother with a different heart, even if he was good to him, he would not appreciate it.
On the fifteenth day of the first month, there was still a family banquet in the palace, but because there was no need to keep the New Year, it was dispersed.
Xiao Chengjun walked out of the palace gate, sat in the carriage and waited for a while, and after a while, he got into a person and threw himself directly into his arms.
"After standing all night, my legs are going to break."
Lou Jing hummed and asked His Royal Highness King Min to rub it for him.
"In that case, don't go to see the lanterns."
Xiao Chengjun chuckled and rubbed him twice, there are lanterns on Fugui Street tonight, and Lou Jing has long been thinking about going to see them.
"Your Highness will be fine if you rub it," Lou Jing immediately kicked his legs, "Look, it's alive again, and it's not a problem to walk eight hundred at night."
Xiao Chengjun smiled, but still accompanied him to see it.
"Jinyang also has lanterns on the fifteenth day of every year, but it is not as lively as the capital."
Lou Jing stood at the end of the street, looking at the brightly lit street.
The lights are like stars in the Milky Way, spreading to the sky, and it is impossible to tell whether they are lights or stars for a while.
On this night, it is rare for people to rest without sunset, and the streets are lively and lively, mostly men, and some women follow their husbands out to see the lights, all of them are full of joy.
Dragon dance lanterns, horse lanterns, lotus lanterns, some are placed on the ground, some are hung on the treetops, the workmanship is exquisite, vivid.
In addition to these lanterns, there are those who sell lanterns, guess word puzzles, buy lanterns, and juggle, and so on.
There are so many people that no one will notice anyone, Lou Jing reached out and grabbed the hands of the people around him.
Xiao Chengjun trembled imperceptibly, they had never been so close in public.
Turning his head to look at Lou Jing, the gentle smiling face looked unusually warm under the light in the sky, and he couldn't help but chuckle, and slowly held his hand back, his fingers intertwined.
Holding hands secretly in a crowded place was more embarrassing than being honest in a no-man's place, and both of them were a little excited, walking aimlessly down the long street, feeling that this feeling could not be better, and only hoping that the road would never end.
"Lanterns, sell lanterns, Childe, buy a lantern" The old man who sold lanterns smiled and held a lantern and greeted the two people passing by.
Xiao Chengjun glanced at the lantern on the stall, "When Chengjin was a child, he always wanted a lotus lantern, but unfortunately no one in the palace could make it, and I couldn't leave the palace."
At that time, my younger brother had just been poisoned and was very sick, and on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, he wanted to go out of the palace to see the lanterns, but he couldn't get out, so he grabbed his sleeves and asked him if he was going to die, and he would never see the lanterns again Lou Jing smiled and paid for a lotus lantern, "Let's send it to King Jing in a while." ” The author has something to say: 6730032 threw a mine throwing time: 2013100113: 13:10 Gongzi Qingtang threw a mine Throwing Time: 2013100103:23:20 Old K threw a mine throwing time: 2013100101:58:09 Little Star threw a mineThrowing Time: 2013093023:44:23 Just got someone to throw a mineThrowing Time: 2013093021:17:11 Nesha threw a mine throwing time: 2013093019:51:53 Thunder threw a mine late at night Throwing Time: 2013093019:33:52 Thank you adults for the landmines gd1806102:
