Advising the villains to be kind every day

In the court hall, Xiao Yiqing discussed with the ministers about the bandits in Fuzhou.

"The magistrate of Fuzhou did not do enough to suppress the bandits, and I have already reprimanded them. Now because of the banditry, people are panicking, and all the nearby counties have asked the imperial court to send troops to suppress the bandits. What good strategies do you guys have?"

Xiao Jingheng said: "Father, my son thinks that since there are remnants of the previous dynasty among the bandits, they must not be tolerated, and they should be suppressed to show their power."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Jingyan and several ministers attached the ceremony.

"The remnants of the previous dynasty?" Han Yuanchong, Minister of the Ministry of War, came out and said, "According to what His Royal Highness King Yan said, half of the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty are ministers of the former dynasty. Aren't they all remnants of the previous dynasty? Should they be punished?"

Xiao Jingheng snorted coldly and said: "Han Shangshu is serious. What this king is talking about is those Yan family eagle dogs who are trying to harm my country, Yan Jiangshan, and deliberately rebel. How can a minister like Han Shangshu who has worked so hard and accomplished so much work with those chaotic officials and thieves?" on a par."

Han Yuanchong said: "Whether the bandits in Fuzhou are related to the previous dynasty or not, they must be wiped out. It's just that the Yan family's eagle dog that His Highness said may mean something else!"

Xiao Jingheng replied directly: "That's right, what I'm talking about is the surviving Yan family eagle dogs in Yunzhou. Back then, the emperor was kind and spared their lives, but these people are not only ungrateful, but also making trouble everywhere. They really deserve to die! "

Facing the emperor, Han Yuanchong cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Zhao Tingyuan's party had killed all of them back then. So many years have passed, and the Yan family members who served in the Yunzhou mine are now all dead and maimed. Over the years, they Surrender to the Holy Majesty and keep his own place. Nazamu used to be loyal to Nanyi, but now that Nanyi is destroyed, he holds a grudge and gathers a group of desperadoes to fight against the court. The veteran believes that the banditry in Fuzhou is just the rebellion of the Nanyi party, and it is merged with Yunzhou No connection."

"Han Shangshu said it lightly." Xiao Jingheng said: "Those Yan family members died, but their descendants and grandchildren are still there. These people are serious worries."

Han Yuanchong ignored him, and continued to speak to Xiao Yi: "The descendants of the Yan family who were left behind in those years have now become the people of Dayan. If the Holy Majesty kills them all, it will definitely damage the name of the Holy Majesty's benevolence."

His words were supported by those former court ministers who said: "Han Shangshu's words are very true, please think twice."

Xiao Jingheng sneered and said, "Okay! You all..."

"Okay!" Xiao Yi said angrily, "Now we're talking about the banditry in Fuzhou, but you're talking about Yunzhou. Could it be that in your eyes, only Yunzhou is a big deal, and everything else doesn't matter?"

All the ministers bowed their heads: "Your Majesty, forgive me!"

Xiao Yi leaned towards Xiao Jingchen: "What does King Qi think?"

Xiao Jingchen said: "My son is willing to lead the army to suppress the bandits!"

Xiao Jingheng said: "A few grassroots bandits in the district also need King Qi to go out in person? Doesn't Dayan have anyone available except King Qi?"

Xiao Yiqing also said: "King Qi is about to get married, so we should appoint another candidate for this matter."

Xiao Jingheng volunteered and said: "Father, my son is willing to go!"

Xiao Jingyan also said: "My son is willing to help King Yan and go together."

Han Yuanchong said: "King Yan and His Royal Highness King An have lived in Beijing for a long time, and they know little about marching and fighting. What's more, this group of reckless people are vicious and vicious. If your Royal Highness's precious body is damaged, it will not be worth the loss."

Although Xiao Jingheng was dissatisfied, he couldn't refute it.Now that Han Yuanchong and Xiao Jingchen have the same nostrils, with these two people in the court, what chance does he have of winning.

Xiao Yi said: "Han Aiqing said so, there must be a suitable candidate."

"A virtuous person does not avoid relatives!" Han Yuanchong said: "I recommend my adopted son Han Wei. He has been fighting with King Qi for many years, and he will definitely be able to wipe out bandits and restore peace to Fuzhou."

Xiao Yiqing nodded, and asked Xiao Jingchen, "What does King Qi think?"

Xiao Jingchen said: "General Han is naturally worthy of this position, but there are more suitable candidates for my son."

Han Yuan Chongdao: "Could it be that what His Royal Highness King Qi is talking about is General Pang Aopang?"

"It's Li Daniu, General Li!" Xiao Jingchen said: "General Li is brave and resourceful, and he made great achievements in the battle against the Nanyi. Let him go to suppress the bandits, and he will definitely live up to the holy hope."

Xiao Yiqing nodded: "This young man is indeed a talented person. Yesterday I wanted to marry him to the Princess Anyang. Well, it won't be too late to marry him after he returns from Fuzhou after victory."

All the ministers said: "Your Majesty is wise!"

……

On the way out of the palace, Xiao Jingyan asked suspiciously: "Brother Wang, what kind of medicine do you think is sold in this Xiao Jingchen's gourd? Why didn't he follow Han Yuanchong's wishes to recommend Han Wei, but brought in some kind of Li Daniu instead."

Xiao Jingheng sneered and said, "It seems that Xiao Jingchen and Han Yuanchong are not really connected."

"That's a good thing for us!"

"There is one more good thing." Xiao Jingheng said: "Why do you think the father would praise Li Daniu, and want to marry Anyang Princess to him?"

"This..." Xiao Jingyan shook his head, "I'm also puzzled."

Xiao Jingheng smiled and said, "Xiao Jingchen holds military power, so there should be someone who can hold him back."

"Brother Wang means...the emperor intends to let Li Daniu divide his military power?"

"This Li Daniu has a simple background and is capable. If this king is such a loyal minister and good general, he would also like to take it for his own use."

Xiao Jingyan said: "Since Brother Wang wants someone to help you, you might as well tell Mr. Pang that he is Pang Ao's uncle. If Brother Wang can get Pang Ao..."

"Pang Ao? Don't mention it!" Xiao Jingheng said: "He has followed Xiao Jingchen for many years, how can he be bought so easily? Besides, the relationship between the teacher and him is not harmonious, how can he lobby? However, the king is not in a hurry now. Be wary of Xiao Jingchen, so it can be seen that it is not known who will win the crown prince position."

……

On the carriage, Rong Li said worriedly: "It seems that the Holy Majesty does not fully trust His Highness."

Xiao Jingchen said: "Father has always been suspicious, no one can guess what's on his mind."

"No matter what, Li Daniu is His Highness's man. If he is smart, he will know how to repay his kindness."

"It's hard to say!" Xiao Jingchen shook his head and said, "Being under the command of this king and holding great power, how do you think he will choose?"

After a moment of silence, Rong Li said: "Then it depends on whether he will accept the marriage offer and marry Princess Anyang."

Xiao Jingchen looked at him: "What do you mean?"

Rong Li said: "If he refuses to offer the marriage, the Holy Majesty will be furious. It's hard to say whether his life will be saved, but if he accepts it, he will know that he is a ungrateful person. Your Highness doesn't need to worry so much. .”

Xiao Jingchen snorted coldly: "I'm afraid whether he accepts it or not is in your favor. But don't be too happy, that Zhuang Wan has no affection for you, it's just your wishful thinking."

Rong Li smiled and said: "If she is so easy to win, it won't arouse my interest. The more outstanding a woman is, the more time I have to spend to get to know her and understand her. If you put in the effort, it will always pay off. Anyway, I have plenty. Time wears it down slowly, no matter how sharp her edges are, I will smooth them out sooner or later."

Xiao Jingchen said disdainfully: "Should I say you are infatuated or that you have a deep mind."

Rong Li said: "She is worth all my troubles for her."

Xiao Jingchen didn't want to talk to him, but Rong Li's words touched him a little.

Maybe I didn't spend enough time with Mu Qiulan, or maybe he was too impatient...
