The rise of the prince

Chapter 766 All in "Control"

Pu Chaling quietly listened to these little maids and eunuchs talking about what was going on inside and outside the palace.

The Pucha family is the most prestigious among the Jurchen clans and understands Han culture best, so after the establishment of the Kingdom of Jin, the Taizu naturally entrusted the Pucha family with the rules of building the palace, building the palace and setting the capital, and allocating the court ladies and eunuchs.

That's why many of the servants in the palace are members of their Pucha family, or they were recruited by their family. Pu Chaling, the queen, only knows everything in the palace, and she knows most of the affairs inside and outside the palace.

However, she is only a queen living in the harem, and has limited influence on affairs outside the court, but now that the Yanshan Mansion has lost, not only her, but many people feel that Jing Guo is a dark cloud weighing on Da Jin Guo.

Although the court, the harem, and even the folks say that the Han people are meek, bloodless, and dare not go to the north, they can find many reasons and speak convincingly, even the emperor said this from time to time, but Pu Chaling understands it in his heart. they are scared
Many Jurchen aristocrats have already moved to Liaodong, and some high-ranking officials secretly sent their children to Liaodong. Even his father sent his younger brother back to Liaoyang.

Everyone knew in their hearts that Jingguo was completely different. There were many reasons, but the biggest problem was definitely the grandson of the emperor. Rumors about him were everywhere. Become more and more fond of fighting, more and more able to fight.

Pu Chaling frowned, logically speaking, he should be just a young man one or two years younger than himself
Thinking about it this way, she became even more curious about this man. At a young age, he suddenly became famous in the past few years, and the entire Dajin Kingdom was shrouded in his shadow.

It is said that he met Taizu once, and Taizu praised him greatly. Anyway, Li Xingzhou, grandson of Emperor Jingguo, is definitely an extraordinary person.

"What kind of person do you think the emperor grandson of Jingguo is?" She asked to herself.

As soon as this kind of gossip was mentioned, several little palace ladies immediately chattered.

"It is said that he was very cruel. When a scholar took one look at his concubine, he cut off the ears of all the scholars in the city."

"It's just hearsay." Pu Chaling was speechless, this kind of words didn't seem to be true.

"Really, really." The little maid said again and again: "I also heard that he was in Jingguo's capital Kaiyuan, and he robbed civilian girls everywhere. As long as a girl is a little better, he will snatch it back."

"Also, I heard that his mansion is full of gold and silver mountains. Not only did he search the whole country for gold and silver, but he also forced Xia Guo to send the whole country's gold and silver to his palace. King Xia was afraid and sent all the gold and silver to him. , so I can’t pay tribute to my Dajin Kingdom.”

This may be half-truth, Pu Chaling judged.

"Also, I heard that he can summon gods in battle, and he can summon Lei Gong to help him, so he is victorious in every battle."

"."

Everyone was chattering, Pu Chaling helplessly interrupted them: "Okay!" They didn't know what they were talking about, it was a mess.

But thinking about it carefully, it is probably right for people who can fight to be rude and savage. At the age of 20, the words rough, violent, and cruel slowly combined in Pu Chaling's heart, which really made her shudder.

She shook her head, thinking about what those people should do, so she asked again: "Is there anything else besides that?"

"Someone said that King Liao would be invited out of the mountain." The little eunuch whispered.

"That's what the emperor said?" Pu Chaling's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly asked.Wanyan Zongbi of the Liao Kingdom, Taizu's biological brother, fought in the South and North, if he was in charge, everyone would be at ease.

She was also looking forward to King Liao's return. In her heart, the only one who could resist a monster like Li Xingzhou was the King Liao with great military exploits.

"This..." the little eunuch hesitated, and then said: "The emperor said that King Liao is not feeling well."

Pu Charing sighed, and said in a low voice, "What's wrong with you?"

After being recalled to Beijing from the northern front by the emperor, King Liao suddenly disappeared, saying that he was sick at home, unwell, and could not go to court.This is obviously just an excuse, even a person like Pu Chaling who lives in the harem can understand that King Liao is probably under house arrest by the emperor.

The reason is very simple, if the Liao king is there, at least half of the Jin army will not serve the emperor wholeheartedly.

And she also has her own understanding of the emperor's behavior. The emperor cannot control the Liao king. He is very scared and worried, so he chooses to put the Liao king under house arrest in a hurry.

The emperor always wants to prove that he has the literary and military strategy of Taizu, but he is far behind Taizu in terms of courage and vision. He can't solve this difficult situation by himself, so he becomes more anxious and irritable.

It would be great if the King of Liao could preside over the overall situation, Pu Chaling thought. At this time, she no longer thinks about the problem from the perspective of the royal family. Sitting in town can make people feel at ease.

It is said that there is no movement in the south, but Liu Xu Xiangguo has suggested strengthening the defense of several towns in the Liaoxi Corridor, and the emperor agreed to this.

Strengthening the defense of the important towns in the Liaoxi Corridor and repairing the fortifications is equivalent to blocking the throat and blocking Jingguo's only northward road. This will make people feel more at ease, and the Mid-Autumn Festival will be better.

At the time of Taizu, people were still thinking about how to go south, but now they are thinking about how to prevent Jingguo from going north. In just a few years, the world has changed too fast, Pu Chaling thought in his heart.

"The emperor punished the coach who lost the battle, but most of them were reprimanded by fines and salary, and no practical punishment was given."

"The army has been dispatched from the Liaodong area one after another in private. The emperor and ministers said that they are not afraid of Jingguo, but they did not neglect their actions.

The important towns in the Liaoxi Corridor also specially repaired and thickened the city gates to deal with the cannons of the Jing army, and the emperor ordered all the important towns to collect iron objects from the surrounding area, and prepared to cast the city gates with iron."

Pu Chaling is a smart woman, upon hearing this, she understood that the emperor didn't want to pursue the matter, but could not. If the emperor was worried about Liao Wang Wanyan Zongbi and dared not use him, then the current generals had to rely on him.

Especially his father, who is now one of the people most relied on by the emperor, so her status in the palace will not be affected, even if the emperor has long disliked her.

As for why she fell out of favor, she didn't understand it herself, and she didn't have a clue even after many inquiries in private.

But she must pull herself together to hold her ground.Today's Dajin Kingdom is not like before, she has to adapt to keep her position and sit firmly as the master of the harem.

Moreover, if the army is dispatched to the west, Liaodong will become more and more empty. To stabilize the order in the rear and raise military supplies, the emperor needs their family, and the battle line will definitely be in the direction of Liaoxi. Their Pucha family will be invincible.

Pu Chaling showed a slight smile, even if she was not favored by the emperor, she could still sit firmly in the harem, and she was fascinated by the feeling of having the world in her hands, her snow-white neck slightly straightened, and she moaned softly.

She has a clear mind, as if everything is under control.
