Dajin royal family

Chapter 415
"Yehao? Is that food edible?"

After hearing Zheng Ruxin's words, Zheng Shanyuan couldn't help being a little dazed, the dog didn't even hear that stuff.

Zheng Ruxin explained with a smile: "The king once sent the soldiers into the mountains to capture the cubs of wild giants and feed them on weeds and other things. It is indeed harmless after being eaten by humans, and the meat is delicious, especially tenderloin and pork ribs. optimal."

After a pause, he added: "Yehao's ears are even better for drinking."

"Really?" Zheng Shan would not believe it.

Zheng Ruyi nodded, "Really, my grandson has eaten it too, and it tastes really delicious, especially the 'stewed' flavor that the king said, stewed ribs, no less than beef and other things."

Zheng Shanyuan was still skeptical, Ye Hao's thing was used to clean the hut, and what he ate was excrement and urine, so it would be strange if he could eat it.

Knowing that his grandfather would find it hard to accept for a while, Zheng Ruxin did not continue to persuade him.

"Grandfather, most of the Liaodong Army's meat is wild meat and mutton. The king asked his grandson to do this, probably to save the cattle for next year's spring plowing."

"That's right. Your Majesty has asked Sinong Temple to make farming tools during these days. I think he attaches great importance to farming. If that's the case, when you go to Liaodong, you can do things for your majesty." Zheng Shanyuan stroked his beard.

Although, it is absolutely impossible for him to eat wild meat.

The three grandparents and grandchildren sat in the study and talked about things, Zheng Shanyuan said: "You are all close ministers of the king, there are some things that should be reminded to the king."

"I don't know what grandfather said?" Zheng Ruyi asked.

"Naturally, it's an issue of heirs. Although the king has three sons, it's not enough for the king. You should remind the king when you have time, donate the concubine, and enrich the harem."

Zheng Ruxin guessed what his grandfather was going to say, so he silently closed his mouth.

"Do you understand what I mean?" Zheng Shan willingly looked at the two of them meaningfully.

Zheng Ruyi said cautiously: "Grandpa wants it."

In Prince Zhao's Mansion, Jiang Chengxiao was discussing matters with Du Ruming and Yu Qingze in the study.

"My plan is to send troops to garrison all Bing Prefecture except for Hedong County and Hanoi County temporarily. What do you mean?"

Jiang Chengxiao pointed to the Kanyu map and said slowly.

Du Ruming said: "Hedong County is adjacent to Fengyi County, and Hanoi County is Henan County across the river. Is the king doing this to temporarily stabilize Wei Guo in Guanzhong and Yu Wenshu in Luoyang?"

"That's right. If I send troops to take down these two counties, firstly, Wei Hong will suspect that I intend to attack Guanzhong, and secondly, Yu Wenshu will also be restless. At present, our goal is Hebei, and the priority for next year is to pacify Hebei. That's why Hedong County and Hanoi County are the buffer zone between Gu, Wei Hong and Yu Wenshu."

Yu Qing nodded, "The minister agrees with the king's plan. It's better to let Wei Hong and Li Yuan fight now. Let's stabilize the rear first."

Du Ruming thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, what if Wei Hong's troops leave Tongguan and cross the river from Fengyi County to attack Bingzhou?"

"This is what I'm worried about, so I plan to contact Yu Binghong first, and let Yu Binghong contain Wei Hong in the north. If possible, I would like to cooperate with Li Yuan again." Jiang Chengxiao said.

"Long distance and close attack?" Du Ruming guessed.

Jiang Chengxiao nodded, "No matter how you look at it, Li Yuan and Wei Hong won't join forces. If I join hands with Li Yuan and Yu Binghong, will Wei Hong dare to lead the army across the river easily?"

"Your Majesty has a vision."

Having said that, Jiang Chengxiao was not sure whether Li Yuan and Yu Binghong were willing to cooperate, so he decided to look at the situation in Guanzhong first.

Du Ruming said: "Your Majesty, the treasury's harvest this year is not bad. In addition to the 30 shi in compensation from Yu Wenshu, the 20 shi from the Liyang warehouse, and 80 shi of grain in the granary. But considering that once Hebei is pacified, At that time, a lot of food relief will be needed, so the food needs to be added together.”

"Food is the most important thing, you must be careful, and you must report to me immediately if you lack food."

"Sir, you understand."

Immediately, the three of them discussed some things about Hebei's pacification strategy.

It wasn't until evening that Jiang Chengxiao had almost handled the government affairs, stretched his waist, and relaxed.

At this moment, Nan Jiyun came.

"My lord, Pharmacist Li is asking to see you."

"Pharmacist Li?"

Hearing this name, Jiang Chengxiao was really taken aback for a moment. When he raised his army back then, he sent someone to look for Li Yaoshi, but at that time he absconded in Bing County because he reported Li Yuan's rebellion and failed. Later, because of the busy things around him, Jiang Chengxiao went Gradually forgot about it.

Unexpectedly, he came to the door by himself.

"I'll go myself."

Li Yaoshi's talent Jiang Chengxiao is clear, he is different from Pei Yuanyan and Yu Chijing, this person is handsome.

outside study.

Pharmacist Li was wearing a saponin shirt, fidgeting a little.

After he came to Taiyuan, he knew the current situation. His friend back then is now the real emperor of the Jin Dynasty. He didn't know whether Jiang Chengxiao still thought highly of him.

If Jiang Chengxiao doesn't want to give him a chance, what should he do?
"Pharmacist!"

Jiang Chengxiao stepped into the study, and when he met him, he called him happily and kindly.

Hearing this, Li Yaoshi hurriedly cupped his hands, "Caomin has seen King Zhao."

"Hahaha." Jiang Chengxiao smiled, reached out to hold his hand, and pulled him to sit down together.

"Okay, you and I don't need to engage in these formalities."

"Pharmacist dare not." Li Yaoshi knelt down and said in a low voice.

The servant served the tea and left, leaving the two of them in the outer study.

"Since the farewell to Liaodong, how has the pharmacist been doing these years?"

"Don't hide it from King Zhao, it's not a good life." Li Yaoshi smiled wryly and recounted what happened in these years.

After hearing this, Jiang Chengxiao said slowly: "Back then when Shandong rebelled, the late emperor asked me who could suppress the bandits. I mentioned the pharmacist, but the late emperor didn't accept it, otherwise Qingzhou would never be like this now."

Li Yaoshi cupped his hands and said, "Thank you King Zhao for remembering Caomin."

"Do you have to live with me?" Jiang Chengxiao pretended to be unhappy.

Li Yaoshi was moved, "Thank you Qingque for remembering me."

After bumping into walls all these years, coupled with Yang Taisu's death because of Yang Gan's rebellion, Li Yaoshi's edges and corners have already been smoothed out.

"Pharmacist, since you're here, don't leave, is Pharmacist willing to stay and help me recover my family?" Jiang Chengxiao asked with a smile.

Hearing this, Yaoshi Li quickly got up and bowed solemnly.

"Thank you for your respect, the pharmacist is willing to work for the king."

He came here because he wanted to follow Jiang Chengxiao to do something, but he didn't expect that Jiang Chengxiao invited him before he mentioned it.

This made him both moved and delighted.

"sit down."

After Li Pharmacist sat down, Jiang Chengxiao said slowly: "Then this Marching Sima, Pharmacist, I will leave it to you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"By the way, Pharmacist, you came from Guanzhong, tell me about the situation in Guanzhong."

Pharmacist Li nodded and said, "There are currently six forces in Guanzhong, but only Li Yuan and Wei Hong can make things happen. With the support of the Dugu family and the Dou family, Li Yuan will be able to take down the counties in Kansai next year at the latest. .Wei Hong occupies Jingzhao County to build the country, and many nobles in Guanzhong are attached to Wei State. The current strength is definitely stronger than Li Yuan. The two of them should not fight now. I guess, they will solve other people first, and finally decide on Guanzhong belonging."

Jiang Chengxiao nodded, this guess is reasonable.

"Then who do you think will win?"

Pharmacist Li hesitated for a while, and immediately said, "Li Yuan."

"Why?"

"Firstly, Li Yuan has the Dugu family and the Dou family behind him. Second, Li Yuan has sufficient troops. As long as the violent bandits in Kansai are dealt with, he will be able to deal with Wei Hong with all his strength. No matter how bad it is, Li Yuan can go south to Bashu. In Bashu, Li Yuan will be able to get the granary, and Li Yuan's strength will definitely increase by then."

"On the other hand, Wei Hong is not the same. When he leaves Tongguan, he will face Yu Wenshu and Wang Shang. When he goes to Wuguan to attack Nanyang, he will meet Xiao Liang again. He can only fight north. Even if he can win Yu Binghong, then he will It will also be trapped in Guanzhong. It can be said that Wei Hong must defeat Li Yuan if he wants to develop."

Jiang Chengxiao chuckled, "Not bad."

Being affirmed, Pharmacist Li was in high spirits.

"Your Majesty, the current situation in Guanzhong is corrupt and it is not appropriate to intervene. In my opinion, Your Majesty should take Hebei first, and then make plans."

"Oh, won't Shandong take it?" Jiang Chengxiao asked.

Li Yaoshi cupped his hands and said: "Shandong is naturally desirable, but don't forget, your majesty, once you take Shandong, your majesty will have to face the two forces of Nanchen and Yuwenshu. At that time, your majesty must deploy heavy troops to defend Shandong. At this moment, the situation in Guanzhong has changed rapidly, whether it is Li Yuan unifying Guanzhong, or Wei Hong defeating Li Yuan, it is not a good thing for the king."

Hearing this, Jiang Chengxiao nodded secretly.

Asking a few more people really broadens your horizons.

"You mean, after I took Hebei, I turned around and entered Guanzhong?"

Pharmacist Li shook his head, "That's not the case, what I mean is, the king will make a decision after taking Hebei."

"Why?"

"If Hebei is won and Guanzhong is still not unified, the king can continue to attack Shandong. If there are signs of unification in Guanzhong, the king will have to consider whether to support the weaker side in Guanzhong."

"You mean to keep the Guanzhong split."

"That's right." Li Yaoshi said: "As long as Guanzhong remains divided, they won't be able to leave Tongguan. At that time, whether it is Yu Wenshu or Li Fazhu of Qingzhou, who can be the opponent of the king!"

"Good!" Jiang Chengxiao said with a smile: "I have a pharmacist, just like I have a Marquis of Huaiyin."

Faced with such praise, Li Yaoshi blushed and cupped his hands, "I dare not be a minister."

"Come on, let's have a few drinks today!"

After saying that, he couldn't help but dragged Li Yaoshi to drink.
