Disgusting husband cultivates virtuous

Chapter 210 Victory Without Fighting
In the Great Xia Dynasty, there were a few princes who participated in the discussion of state affairs, that is, they had the right to speak on state affairs, and they belonged to the emperor's high-ranking officials.Although there is no real shortage, the weight of words is extremely heavy.Among these princes, Prince Qing is the most important.

King Qing is the emperor's cousin and the son of the old Prince Qing.Back then, Old Prince Qing and Duke Ma had been poisoned by the Miracle Heart Grass, but after drinking camellia tea, Prince Old Qing was cured of the poison.But because he was getting old and his health was not good, he died within a few months, and the king of Qing County inherited the title.King Qing, like the old Prince Qing, has won the trust and reliance of the emperor.

Among civilian officials, peace is more common, while among military officials, war is more common.Ma Guogong is a staunch advocate of peace, and Su Guogong scolded him as a "coward among the military officers" and a "little man". He was so angry that Ma Guogong quarreled with him in the Golden Palace.

They say that the public is right, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is right. The emperor is a little vacillating and can't make up his mind.He also wanted to beat the Turkic people who often came to provoke Daxia so that they dare not come again, but he felt that the expedition of thousands of miles was too risky.Then he passed an order that even if the army wins, it will temporarily rest in place to recuperate.

Ma Guogong shook his head and said to the old lady, "When the Turks invaded, Su Guogong wanted to make peace and would rather give money and food. However, just now that the victory was about to be won, he started to work hard again, saying that he wanted to pursue the victory. He also Don't think about it, our army has chased thousands of miles away, is not familiar with the terrain, and is exhausted. No matter how good the weapon is, how much chance of victory will it have. Besides, for the sake of confidentiality, this steelmaking technology is only allowed to a few weapon factories in the suburbs of Beijing for the time being. Manufactured. It’s already a long way to go to the border, so how can we supply it to the Turkic army?”

There was no outsider in the room, and the men, the old lady, and Xie Xian'er all knew the inside story, and the old man became "normal", and his eyes became sharper.Said, "That old man Su Guogong must take this opportunity to eradicate dissidents. Xie Honghui is loyal to the emperor, and I personally trained him. This time he won the battle and came back, and he will be reused by the emperor. If they can't win over, it must be Get rid of it and soon."

The old lady snorted coldly, "They recommended Mr. Niu at the beginning, but Mr. Niu didn't live up to it, he couldn't win the battle, and he fell ill."

The men talked about each other, and the emotions were quite passionate.

Xie Xian'er doesn't understand war, doesn't care about state affairs, and doesn't care whether Xie Honghui's irresponsible father can come back alive, so she feels a little drowsy.

In a trance, she was sitting in a small shop on the side of the street in her previous life, eating Baijia fat rice rolls.The long-lost spicy smell made her taste buds go crazy, and a silver thread flowed out from the corner of her mouth unconsciously.She didn't feel it, she was still immersed in that special fragrance and couldn't extricate herself.

The old lady and Ma Guogong talked so hard that they didn't pay attention. The third and fourth masters saw it, and they were both amused and embarrassed to say it. They clenched their hands into fists and coughed from time to time.

The head of the old man who has been stupid for a few years is no longer brilliant. He turned his head and saw it, and said bluntly, "Daughter-in-law, haven't you just eaten now? Why are you drooling again?"

Xie Xian'er was sobered up by the old man's yelling, and quickly wiped the corners of her mouth with one hand, slobber.Seeing that the men sitting there lowered their heads and pretended not to see it, not only did she feel ashamed, but her eye circles were a little red.

The old lady wiped Xie Xian'er's hands with a handkerchief, quickly found the steps for her, and said, "It's normal to be greedy. When I was pregnant with my eldest son, I wanted to eat jujube every day. Once it was midnight, and I found The wild jujube was eaten by me, and the old man got up and sent someone to buy it on the street."

The old man also knew that he made his granddaughter-in-law unable to come to the stage, so he hurriedly said with a smile, "That is, what Hua'er wanted to eat at that time, I would find a way to find it for her no matter what time it was."

Xie Xian'er pulled the old lady's sleeve and said, "Grandma, I want to eat something very spicy. No matter what, as long as it is spicy, I want to eat it."

The Ma family is from Jiaodong, and they don't like spicy food, so peppers are rarely seen on the dinner table.What's more, especially hot peppers are not easy to buy in the capital, because the capital is to the north, and people here don't like spicy food.Even with chili it was big bell pepper and not spicy at all.

The old lady immediately said, "Okay, grandma will send someone to West Sichuan or Huguang tomorrow to buy more sharp peppers. It is said that the sharper the peppers, the hotter they are."

But the old man thought of the other side, staring at the sparkling eyes and said, "Hua'er, did you hear that, our granddaughter-in-law wants to eat spicy food!"

"Of course I heard it." The old lady had a questioning expression.

The old man said excitedly again, "There is a saying in the market that it is sour and hot. Our old Ma's family is finally going to have a daughter."

His voice made everyone in the room yearn for it. The Ma family has never had a daughter.Even if Qin was pregnant with a child, no one had hoped that she would have a daughter, because the Ma family had given up hope after repeated disappointments.

Seeing these hopeful eyes, Xie Xianer felt a lot of pressure.

The old lady laughed and said, "That's a good relationship. If the granddaughter-in-law gives me a great-granddaughter, grandma will give you a big red envelope."

After talking about my daughter for a while, I got back to business and talked about major affairs in the court.Xie Xianer's drowsiness also disappeared, listening to their discussion on how to get the emperor to completely stop sending troops.

She suddenly thought of the situation in which some big countries in the previous life supported the countries around the enemy country to compete with them for their own benefit.He said, "Actually, you don't have to send troops to attack Wusun Kingdom."

Ma Guogong smiled disdainfully, "Erlang's daughter-in-law is young and doesn't understand how to attack the enemy country without sending troops?"

Xie Xian'er said, "Winning without fighting is the highest state..."

Before he finished speaking, the old man spoke excitedly, "Wonderful, wonderful! Victory without fighting is the best interpretation of a soldier who surrenders without fighting. It is the best policy. However, how can we win without fighting?" ?”

Xie Xian'er said, "Wusun Kingdom dared to travel thousands of miles to invade our Great Xia Dynasty, which shows its arrogance and domineering. As expected, it bullied the small countries around it wantonly. Why don't we give those small countries some food, grass, and even weapons... ..."

Before he finished speaking, he was cut off by Mr. Ma, who said anxiously, "Second sister-in-law's words are inappropriate. We are not afraid of Wusun country, why should we honor those small countries? Why should we give them food, grass and weapons?"

Xie Xian'er smiled and said, "Third Uncle is not in a hurry, listen to me slowly. What we give them is not called filial piety or tribute, but a strategy. Do the math, if I send troops to the court, the army's food, grass and weapons will be destroyed." How much will it cost? How many casualties will there be? We only pay less than one-twelfth of the silver, and the effect may be much better than sending troops."

"How do you say that?" Ma Guogong asked with great interest.
