"According to the law of Wuyang, the Dragon Elephant Mansion should give priority to the supply of grain and grass for the army that resists foreign enemies."
Xiahou Boyang's voice came at that time, making everyone present stunned.They probably didn't expect that Xiahou Boyang would say such a thing at this time.Today's Wuyang court, the situation is delicate, the prince and the second prince are constantly wrestling, and the officials of the three governments and nine divisions are either attached to it or they are wise enough to protect themselves, and help each other in two steps.You must know that this lord of the Dragon Elephant Mansion is different from Lu Shenji and Xiang Luowen.In the more than ten years he has been the head of the mansion, he has interpreted the rhetoric of seeing the wind and steering the rudder and the two ends of the rat's head to the extreme.In their hearts, Xiahou Boyang is almost a model figure who cherishes his life, and he has always been known for his tactfulness in speaking and doing things.But at this time, he actually took the initiative to stand up and speak for Li Danqing, which was beyond everyone's expectations, and everyone was caught off guard by this.Xiang Luowen was stunned in place, and it took him more than ten breaths to accept this unexpected event that he had not expected from beginning to end.He frowned, stood in place for a while, and finally came back to his senses, gritted his teeth at that time, and whispered: "Xiahou Mansion Lord understands Wuyang Law very well......"
Xiahou Boyang heard this, bowed his head slightly, and said with a look of sincere fear: "Xiang Mansion Lord praises falsely, but he understands it slightly, and he understands it slightly." ”Xiang Luowen didn't have the heart to continue to make peace with Xiahou Boyang at this time, he asked again in almost direct words: "So, the Xiahou Mansion Lord really thought it through and decided to supply the grain and grass of the 300,000 forbidden army to the million soldiers and horses newly recruited by Li Shizi?"
”Xiang Liuwen bit the accent on the words million soldiers and horses, obviously, for anyone, to call these million homeless people a million soldiers and horses, it is inevitable that they will be suspected of referring to the deer as horses.Xiahou Boyang's face was embarrassed at that time, and he said in a sincere and fearful tone: "The law is like this, and I also do things according to the law, and the Xiang Mansion will understand the hardships below." ”Xiang Luowen snorted coldly, and at this time, he looked sideways at Lu Shenji, as if hinting at what the other party said.But Lu Shenji is an old fox, although the two of them had an agreement to solve Li Danqing together, but at this time and that time, the 300,000 forbidden troops are all Xiang Luowen's men and horses in the final analysis, if Xiang Luowen can take out food from his hands to support this man and consume the money and food in his hands, it would be a good thing.Therefore, Lu Shenji looked at his nose and nose at this time, and he turned a blind eye to the gaze delivered by Xiang Luowen.Seeing this, Xiang Luowen was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.He glanced at Lu Shenji angrily, knowing that today's three parties were working together to frame him, and it would be no good for him to break it down, so he could only grit his teeth and swallow this bitter fruit.Thinking of this, he flicked his sleeves and turned to leave.This court meeting also came to an end, the civil and military officials left, and Xiahou Boyang also arched his hand towards Li Danqing at this time and said: "Then I will also leave below, Li Shizi rest assured, the rations of the 300,000 troops will be delivered on time from tomorrow, if the prince is in need, my Longxiang Mansion will also send someone to help the prince take care of these grains and grass, in case anything happens." ”"That's the best."
Li Danqing thanked him.Hearing this, Xiahou Boyang nodded, and then turned around and left happily, without helping Li Danqing a lot and wanting to get some benefits from it.And with the departure of Xiahou Boyang, there are only four people left in this palace, Li Danqing, Concubine Ji and Ji Yuzhi.At this time, Concubine Ji stepped down from the throne on the high platform and left the throne, which made Concubine Ji feel relieved.That position looks high and majestic, but in fact, only the person sitting on it can understand that the back is walking on thin ice.Being tall and looking so blurry that it's hard to tell which one is worthy of your trust.Concubine Ji suddenly understood why her brother, who used to like to laugh so much, had changed so quickly in the past few years since he took this position......
It's cold in high places......
Thinking of Concubine Ji here, she was secretly glad that at least she still had Li Danqing here.However, although she trusts Li Danqing, she sometimes can't understand the meaning behind some of Li Shizi's practices.At this time, she came to Li Danqing, looked at the other party and asked, "Why is this the conscription of millions of refugees?"
”"The Jade Administration Division and the Ten Thousand Books Division are unwilling to give food, and if they are not recruited into the army, will it be possible to really starve them to death?"
Li Danqing glanced at Concubine Ji, who looked puzzled, shrugged her shoulders, and said in a relaxed tone.Hearing such an answer, Senior Concubine Ji was not satisfied, she frowned and asked again: "However, how can you be sure that if those refugees are conscripted into the army, Xiahou Boyang will agree to mobilize grain and grass from the Dragon Elephant Mansion to them?"
”Although things have happened, in the eyes of Concubine Ji, it is still a little incredible.Xiahou Boyang is a person, and in the Wuyang Dynasty, he is famous for his left and right, and it is difficult for Concubine Ji to imagine that the other party will withstand the pressure of landing Shen Ji and Xiang Luowen to stand up for Li Danqing.Li Danqing smiled when he heard this, and did not answer Concubine Ji's question at the first time, but looked sideways at Ji Yuzhi who was standing aside, he sat down on the steps under the high platform, beckoned to Ji Yuzhi and said, "Xiao Yuzhi, you come to tell your aunt about the doorway." ”After saying this, Li Shizi supported his head with one hand and looked at each other with a smile, with a hint of encouragement between his eyebrows.Ji Yuzhi nodded when he heard this, and finally mustered up the courage to step forward.He looked at Senior Concubine Ji, and under the other party's somewhat confused gaze, he saluted respectfully towards Senior Concubine Ji, and then said: "Xiahou Boyang is the lord of the Dragon Elephant Mansion, but his control over the four forbidden armies has always been useless. ”"The four forbidden armies take the White Tiger Army as an example, nominally subordinate to the Longxiang Mansion, but in fact they are restrained by Xiang Liuwen everywhere, this is like a slave at home, food and clothing are given by the family, but they listen to the words of outsiders, even if Xiahou Boyang is a clay man, he has long held a grudge against this in his heart, Li Danqing handed this slashing knife to his eyes, how could he not take this opportunity to get this evil breath out?"
Previously, Concubine Ji had also seen her nephew's quick thinking, but this analysis was indeed unexpected by Concubine Ji.She looked at Ji Yuzhi with some astonishment, and had a new understanding of her nephew's intelligence."
Yes......
Timely is really as you said, the 300,000 forbidden army no longer needs the Longxiang Mansion to feed, but the Longxiang Mansion still needs to send these grains into the hands of the refugees, for the Longxiang Mansion, they did not get any benefits, just to vent their anger, they offended Xiang Luowen like this, this is not like Xiahou Boyang's style of acting. ”Although Concubine Ji was surprised in her heart, she still wanted to know the root cause of this change.The various things in the court can be described as complicated, and Concubine Ji still has no clue about many things even now, and she wants to learn more about how to deal with these troubles.Ji Yuzhi smiled when he heard this, the expression on his face was determined, and he said in an old-fashioned manner: "Auntie, I don't know anything about this, according to the rules of the imperial court, the disaster food distributed to the refugees, one person is three or two rice grains, and millions of refugees are full of food, and the rations consumed in one day are actually only five thousand stones, but the four forbidden armies are the elite of the imperial court, and their daily rations are twelve taels per person, and the food consumption alone is already six thousand stones, not counting their martial arts, they also need to consume all kinds of meat every day, as well as the expenditure on ordnance, For the Dragon Elephant Mansion, this is a sure deal, not to mention more, at least it can save them more than three times the expenses. ”"How can you say that Xiahou Boyang is unwilling?"
Concubine Ji was stunned when she heard this, and then she reacted, the army, especially an elite army like the Four Great Forbidden Army, required expenses that were by no means comparable to those of ordinary people.There are often poor people who are rich and rich, and the expenses required to train a qualified warrior are not trivial.This is actually a very simple truth, but it is just superficial things, and people tend to ignore them.And the people who can see these things for the first time should be the ones who are more suitable to do them.Thinking of this, Senior Concubine Ji's gaze at Ji Yuzhi changed.Some are profound, some are complex, and some are intriguing.Ji Yuzhi was a little afraid of his aunt, who was not particularly familiar, and the other party's gaze made him a little overwhelmed.He shrunk his neck and said, "Auntie, did I lose my words......
"No." ”Concubine Ji hurriedly said: "I think you said it very well, these things are things that I never thought of.Did you figure it all out yourself?
”When Ji Yuzhi heard this, he was a little embarrassed at this time, he scratched his head and said: "It's all casually, and I don't know if it's right, in fact, if you ask Li Danqing, he knows better than me." ”As he spoke, the young man turned his head to look at Li Danqing, and the moment his gaze fell on Li Danqing, his body paused slightly, and his expression was a little strange.Concubine Ji obviously also noticed this, she hurriedly followed the young man's gaze and looked sideways, the sight that caught her eyes made Concubine Ji also stunned, and then smiled softly, her eyebrows were blooming.At that time, His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, who was murderous in the army, commanding in the palace, and talking and laughing in front of the refugees, was now squatting on the steps, his head resting on the railing, his eyes closed, like a child, sleeping soundly......
