Chapter 399 Dismissal
"Father, Xia'er will always support you, and I will follow your example and do my best to protect the peace of my country in the future.

Xia'er assures you that she will step up her martial arts practice seriously and develop her true skills. In a few years, she will go to the border town with you, fight fiercely on the battlefield, and defeat the enemy.

My goal is to grow into an iron lady who can lead thousands of troops like Princess Pingyang Zhao. "Yunxia blurted out without any pause, expressing her thoughts smoothly.

After listening to Yunxia's words, the father raised his eyebrows, his eyes were piercing, and looked at his daughter with joy.

His expression became brighter, like the sun shining brightly.

Princess Pingyangzhao is a legendary woman. She is good at managing the army and has excellent strategies. She once commanded thousands of troops and won countless victories.A man like him also admires Princess Pingyang Zhao very much, and regards her as a hero in his heart.

Although Xia'er is young and still a daughter, she can have such great ambitions, and she is not inferior to a man at all, which really impresses him.

Whether as a general or as a father, no matter what his status is, he is proud of having such a daughter.

However, Ping Yangzhao is a princess, and she has been working for her father Tang Gaozu's empire, and has really made great contributions to Tang Gaozu.

If Xia'er said this outside, it might cause misunderstandings. If the words reached the emperor's ears, it might make the emperor think that she had a different heart and wanted to seek rebellion, which would lead to unreasonable disasters.

He decided to remind his daughter.

"Xia'er, follow the example of Princess Pingyang Zhao and talk about it at home, don't go outside."

Yunxia nodded: "Father, Xia'er knows that you are afraid that the speaker has no intentions and the listener has intentions. Please rest assured, Xia'er will definitely not talk about this outside."

Before he finished his words, the daughter understood the deep meaning. The father was happy with his daughter's intelligence and understanding, and his mood became even better.

Seeing her husband, the mother next to her beamed with joy, and joined in the fun with a smile, and said to Yunxia: "If Xia'er wants to guard the border with your father, mother will take your brother Xiao with her. Although mother can't go to the battlefield, she can take care of the family well." , let you guard the border with peace of mind."

Hearing what my mother said, my father suddenly frowned, closed his smile, pursed his lips, stared at the open window, and looked outside.

Following his line of sight, Yunxia saw that the sky over there was like a burning flame, and the beautiful sunset glow was showing infinite charm.

The mother called Xia'er, look, the sunset is so gorgeous today!Speaking of which, your father named you Yunxia at the beginning because he liked the beauty of the glow.

"Also, the day you were born was just in the morning, the sky was full of sunrise, gorgeous and colorful, amazing.

Your grandmother asked your father to name you, and your father thought for a long time before choosing the word Yunxia for you.

By the way, he also explained to his mother why he chose this name, and specially recited a poem from his predecessors to explain it.From that day on, my mother will never forget that poem. "

Having said that, the mother stopped talking and looked at her husband, wanting him to recite this poem himself.

She has already found that after she said that sentence just now, her husband seems to be in a low mood.

"Which poem is it? Dad, tell Xia'er quickly." Yunxia clapped her hands and urged her father.

Like her mother, Yunxia also noticed the change in her father's mood.

Father looked away, looked at Yunxia's smiling face, and recited the poem.

The water is like the morning glow, and Lin suspects that the colorful phoenix is ​​coming.

He read with a straight voice and full of emotion.

Yun Xia read it along, but she was not familiar with this line of the poem, so she asked her father who wrote it.

"Written by Li Deyu, a famous Prime Minister of the late Tang Dynasty, the title of the poem is "Recalling Pingquan Miscellaneous Songs Recalling New Vine". When Dad has you, it can be considered that there are new vines."

The mother continued to joke: "Yes, your father got such a cute new vine that day, and he was so happy that he didn't know how to shut his mouth."

The father smiled and said: "That morning, when I held you in my arms, I pushed open the window and saw the morning glow reflected in the pool. It was so beautiful. But you closed your eyes obediently and slept soundly. sweet.

The small face, lined with small facial features, is so cute that it is indescribable. Dad is reluctant to look away for a moment, and his heart is as soft as a red cloud in the sky.

At that time, that poem popped into my head, so I hurriedly read it to your mother.

Father thinks that Lin suspects Caifeng is more appropriate, isn't Xia'er the Caifeng who flew into my Li family? "

After the father finished speaking, he looked at his mother, and her mother nodded with a smile. After the two exchanged a look, they smiled meaningfully.

Yunxia didn't know, but her parents thought Caifeng's poem had already been fulfilled, and they were also happy that she would marry Weihang in the future. Weihang is the son of the real dragon, and Xia'er is naturally destined for the phoenix. .

However, she could see that her father's mood had improved again, so she asked him tentatively: "Father, you didn't seem very happy just now? Can you tell me and mother what the emperor said again?"

After a pause, my father spoke slowly: "Father then cut the long story short, picked the key points to report the border military affairs to the emperor, and made two suggestions to the emperor:
The first is the issue of military pay. The money allocated by the imperial court is decreasing year by year, and it is no longer able to support the normal expenditure of the border guards. I hope the imperial court can find a way to gradually increase the military pay of the border guards;
The second is to develop and expand the border town, move more people here, strengthen the economic and military level of the border town, and deter the Xirong people. If the Xirong people have unruly intentions, they will fight back vigorously to ensure the long-term stability of the border. "

As soon as her father finished speaking, Yun Xia immediately expressed her opinion: "Father, these two suggestions are very good. Especially the second one, Mr. Xiao specially commented on an article written by my classmate Wang Julian last time. Your suggestion is completely consistent, and Mr. Xiao praised it greatly.

From this point of view, your opinions coincide with each other, it is really a hero who sees and agrees! "

Yunxia's voice raised a few degrees, she was in high spirits, and her face was flushed with excitement.

But her father was not as happy with her.

She was stunned for a while, and then she realized that the emperor must have not agreed with her father's suggestion, so her father was unhappy.

So he stretched out his hand to hold his father's sleeve, and said with some embarrassment: "Father, the emperor rejected both proposals, right?"

Bingxue's smart daughter had already seen it, and the father didn't deny it, and nodded heavily.

"Other fathers can ignore it, but the emperor dismissed these two suggestions without even thinking about it, which made father feel very disappointed."

Yunxia complained hard about the emperor in her heart, the military salary was not enough, he didn't care about it, she just cared about spending time and money, and he ignored the development of border towns.All day long, he only knows how to indulge in the beauty of the harem, and regards his favorite concubine as more important than military and state affairs. He is simply a fool who does not do business, too much, too much, too much!
Yunxia was so angry that she couldn't finish complaining for a while...

The small breasts heaved even more violently, which was really indignant.

"Xia'er, calm down." Seeing her daughter's face turning black, the mother quickly comforted her.

Yunxia shook her head and asked her father: "Father, I'm just curious, why did the emperor reject it?"

"First, the emperor said that the finances are tight, and the salaries of the troops stationed everywhere are decreasing. Let us learn to live a hard life."

As soon as she heard it, she yelled angrily: "Finance is tight? It's a joke, then why does he still help the beloved concubine hold such a luxurious birthday celebration? Isn't the palace as expensive as before? Why doesn't he reduce himself What about the cost?"

Father was obviously also very angry, but not as fierce and sharp as Yunxia's expression.

Yunxia grabbed the fan and slapped herself hard, trying to calm herself down.
