I can't die!I haven't ruled the world yet!

Chapter 175 Should Agordo be kept as a hostage?
Although he had many doubts in his heart, Rong Cen still had an unexpected and rare sleep.

When I woke up again, I was full of energy.

Even in the morning court, I didn't realize that I talked a little too much. I tried my best to comfort and stabilize the hearts of all the officials.

Another report from the Ministry of War was that Renxu had led his troops back to Beijing and would arrive at Shengzhou City before noon today.

Dayin had not done anything good for a long time, let alone such a shameful incident. The civil and military officials in the court were very happy to hear about it.

Rong Cen waved his hand and immediately ordered the Ministry of Etiquette and the Ministry of Household Affairs to make preparations and hold a celebration banquet with the highest standards.

extravagant? It doesn't matter, it's a rare occasion.

"The minister obeys the order!"

After the officials in charge of the two departments finished answering, Sun Hanjiang came out with a white scepter in his hand, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I have one more thing to do. The third prince who is most loved by the King of Beiqiu sent a letter of surrender in person. Do you want to keep him as a pledge?"

The Guzman family of the Beiqiu royal family, the current king of Beiqiu is Musa, who has three sons, Agudo, Aldo, and Agodo.

Different from Dayin's tradition of establishing direct descendants, Beiqiu people believe in the survival of the fittest, with the strong as king and the weak as bandits.

Currently the most favored third prince in the royal family, Agodo, is tall, brave and good at fighting.

Last year, it was he who invaded the northern border and occupied Yaozhou forcefully.

But Beiqiu didn't expect that Dayin would also produce a brave and capable hero this year.

Chen Ji'an and Wen Renxu won a great victory in this battle. Not only did they regain the lost ground in one fell swoop, they also defeated the enemy's general Agodo and became crippled. Beiqiu's troops were reduced to disgrace, and Liping's troops were defeated.

Beiqiu is a vast area with sparsely populated areas. It is divided into regions, with only four regions in total. The royal capital is Udayuan, Lianggu is the northernmost point of the entire continent, Xinhe is bordering Xilin, and Liping is the border between Beiqiu and Dayin.

Therefore, the Beiqiu people were completely driven out of Dayin's land, which can be said to be very proud!
Feng Shui has turned, and the defeated party pays tribute. Beiqiu King Musa has already signed the letter of surrender. Poor his favorite youngest son, his legs are completely useless, his hands have been picked to remove the veins, and he can no longer ride a horse or pull a crossbow. .

The man who had to follow and serve him in his daily life was insulted by his two brothers who were eager to win over him, so they came to Dayin to deliver a letter of surrender.

"Your Majesty, no! Aguoduo is Musa's most valued son. If he is held as a hostage in Kyoto, I am afraid it will anger the Beiqiu tribe! General Wenren will return, and there are only 100,000 military guards of General Chen in Yaozhou. With 50,000 garrison troops, if the Beiqiu attack comes again and the northern border is difficult to defend, the consequences will be disastrous! "

"What a coward! How could I, the Great Yin, be so cowardly? Beiqiu is united with the outside world because Agudo's position is stable. Now that Agudo is deposed and the heir to the royal family is unknown, Agudo and Aldo are bent on fighting among themselves. If you don’t have time to worry about him, Beiqiu is nothing to be afraid of!”

"Both gentlemen are right, but Agudo has been destroyed, and the importance of King Beiqiu in the past has naturally disappeared. It is still unclear whether it will be transferred to Agudo or Aldo. In this way, Agudo is a pledge and has a Why is it necessary? It should be noted that only those who can play a role in restraint are regarded as protons. Now Agodo is useless. In my opinion, it is really unnecessary!"

Rong Cen likes an environment where a hundred schools of thought can contend. He never stops everyone from discussing and allows them to speak freely and express their opinions.

No, the public is right when talking about public affairs, and the mother-in-law is right when talking about mother-in-law. It was originally a personal duel debate, but now the more serious old men have begun to attack each other personally, and are jealous and jealous. .

"It's a waste of food to let Agodo serve as a hostage! Is it because Dayin's treasury is too rich? Who came up with such a bad idea! Use your brain to think about it. If your big son is injured and disabled, you can still take care of the family business as usual. Leave it in his hands?"

"You're a cripple! You're an old man! You're so venomous! It's strange that two of your three children died, leaving only Adou, a bastard who has no future and cannot afford to support him!"

"You are promising, but you have married four or five serious wives and you have not given birth to a legitimate son. You are a wife and a son! You raise a concubine secretly. You pray to the Buddha and ask about it. It took a lot of time to get Jin Gui'er. You hold it in the palm of your hand for fear of dropping it and hold it in your mouth." It’s a pity that your wife has been having sex with a scholar from the neighborhood for many years, so she doesn’t even know that her hair is green!”

"Where do you think the Jinluan Palace is? You just say whatever you want. You are really uneducated! You are arrogant! You are a vulgar and reckless man! Your Majesty is merciful, so you let a rabid dog like you out to bark!"

"Calm down! Calm down! The two tiger fathers have no sons. Even if your son is a dandy in Kyoto, he will still be the best in Shengzhou! Don't hurt the harmony!" He Xi stood at the end of the queue, threw away the melon seed shell, and started to make peace. Dude, there are many secret suspicions of causing trouble.

Yes, he wants to see a show.

When you make money and get an official position, you can't help but feel the gurgling in your stomach.

Of course, He Xi's behavior is actually harmless compared to other people's real evil deeds.

The two people who had just been scolding each other looked back and said, "Bah! You have no right to speak!"

"Does that mean I have the right to speak?"

Rong Cen patted Long An hard, with a solemn look on his face, a solemn tone, and unexpressed anger in his brows, "How unbecoming is it that just Agodo makes you quarrel like this!"

At this moment, she suddenly understood the mantra of Wan Chengshu, the Minister of Rites. Cheng He Teti was indeed the most common rhetoric, and it was applicable to most contexts.

The quarrel was between Tang Xu, the Marquis of Zhenyuan, and Xu Xinqiao, the imperial censor of Taiyou.

A mere Agodo is naturally not enough to cause the conflict between the two. In the final analysis, it is because of their daughter entering the palace as a concubine.

That day, after Rong Cen was put on the shelf, she fainted before even having time to attend the Qionglin Banquet. The emperor's uncle had been covering her up for the past few days.

The three beauties had never been summoned by the emperor, and the palace had never issued an official decree to make them concubines.

Rong Cen showed up for the first time today, and some people were anxious.

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

Most of the civil and military officials in the court knelt down. The officials who were older than the three officials stood still and did not move. They had nothing to do with themselves. Those who are younger than them cannot help but be intimidated, fearing that they will be offended if they have bad luck.

Rong Cen was a very reasonable and benevolent gentleman. He didn't care much and just waved his hand to let them get up.

"Agodo came to Beijing with sincerity. As the host, Dayin should treat him as a distinguished guest. But after all, he is a defeated general, so I will not welcome him personally."

"The Ministry of Rites will guide him to have a good tour of Shengzhou in accordance with the etiquette of diplomatic relations, with a few eloquent envoys. Remember to observe etiquette, and don't humiliate him or talk about him."

The more worried they were about the concubines in the harem, the more Rong Cen didn't mention it. Instead, he discussed other important affairs of the government. He also asked the officials, "How is the assessment of Liangzhou Guard in recent years?"

Ran Shen said without hesitation, "Your Majesty, the Liangzhou Guards have fulfilled their duties, strictly guarded the border, and have made great achievements in governance."

"Really?"

Rong Cen raised his eyebrows and smiled with unknown meaning: "How many years has he been in office in Liangzhou?"

"Seven years."

After Ran Can finished answering, he was shocked.

Dayin officials were selected through the imperial examination and appointed and removed through the Ministry of Civil Service assessment. They served a three-year term. If they really achieved outstanding political achievements, they would not be able to stay there for two terms.
