[MTL] I Built a Territory in Ancient Times

Chapter 107

107. Chapter 107

The gates of Prime Minister Wen's mansion were almost broken by those officials in the past few days. Ever since Prime Minister Wen passed through the air with the emperor, he got the emperor's support. When he returned to the residence, he wrote a quick note and wrote down a memorial about the Xiqi Corridor. It was presented to the emperor's desk the next day, so the emperor took the matter out for discussion in the early days of the dynasty.

This time, it was like poking a hornet's nest, and all the important ministers in the DPRK were talking about it. Xiqi Mountain belongs to Suixi and Wuliang. Now that Dayan is troubled by internal and external aggression, it is simply unable to carry out territorial expansion. Prime Minister Wen has always acted cautiously, why did he suddenly present such a memorial?

There are those who oppose it, thinking that unnecessary efforts will waste people's money and waste money. There is only the prime minister, Ma Shou, who thinks that this matter will benefit the country and the people. Although it will cost a little more manpower and material resources at present, it will be able to benefit future generations in the future. Some people take a wait-and-see attitude, and neither side accounts for it.

Of course, this matter could not be decided all at once. Some smart people thought about the emperor's attitude, but the emperor did not make any statement on this matter. This makes people a little unpredictable, think about it, Xiqi belongs to the frontier, right? The borderlands were nothing before, but now there is still a squatting Buddha, Duanwang.

And I have never heard of the Xiqi Corridor before. Now that Duan Wang has returned to Beijing, there is such a thing. If there is no shadow of Duan Wang in this matter, who would believe it?

The emperor's lack of attitude is also very memorable.

    Who is Duan Wang? That is the Lord of the Sacred Heart. When he was entrusted to Liangzhou, everyone thought that King Duan had fallen out of favor. However, on the first day of returning to the palace, the eleventh prince came out, and the twelfth prince was punished because of him, but Duan Wang had nothing to do. Even Concubine Hui heard about this and cried and pleaded in front of the emperor, but she couldn't make the emperor change his mind. Doesn't this explain anything? In the emperor's heart, Duan Wang's holy family has not been reduced by half, and his status is still ahead of the princes.

Then this is enough to show that this matter is related to Duan Wang, and the emperor's silence is just silently supporting Duan Wang's attitude. After such an analysis, some people changed their attitude and decided to act in the eyes of the emperor.

There was a lot of noise in the middle, up and down, and down, each of them had to quarrel, and there was almost no peace.

Prime Minister Wen had no choice but to go to Emperor Deyu Palace to hide in peace. It's not that he doesn't know the consequences of doing so, but if he doesn't do it, who would dare to do it?

"Look at you, you're still laughing at me..." Prime Minister Wen noticed something was wrong as soon as he complained, and quickly apologized, "Your Majesty, please forgive me." The

emperor's smiling face froze, and the originally warm atmosphere suddenly changed. get dull. This person has changed a lot over the years. He used to be free and easy, how can he be so cautious now?

The emperor smiled and said in a casual tone: "Forgive what sin, I keep saying this sentence every day, you are not tired, I am tired."

Prime Minister Wen felt a little regretful and cramped, the atmosphere just now was too good, Let him forget the situation at this time. I thought it was because they were young, the two had no identity gap, and they were inseparable from each other, so they would talk and complain like this.

As soon as the emperor said this, it made him even more uneasy, and he knew that he should not come here.

The emperor looked at him, the chess piece in his hand knocked on the chessboard twice, and reminded: "It's your turn to play, but I remind you in advance that you have no regrets when you play chess!"

Prime Minister Wen returned to his senses, but found that when he was thinking about it, the chess piece in his hand had already been placed on the chessboard. This move blocked his back path, and seeing the corner where he worked so hard to get work was blocked like this, it became a dead chess piece.

When he reacted, he quickly reached out to pick up the chess piece, but the emperor reached out and squeezed his hand, smiling, "I reminded you, don't go back." As soon as the

two hands touched, Prime Minister Wen's face changed . Bai, as if his hand had been overcharged, hurriedly shrank back.

The emperor was a little lost, but he didn't seem to realize it. He quickly made a move with a

smile, "Wen Qing, this game has been accepted." Prime Minister Wen smiled bitterly, "I lost." Confessing defeat early and admitting defeat late is always a loser, so why struggle and make yourself lose ugly?

Prime Minister Wen had no interest in playing chess, and when he didn't know how to speak, the emperor pushed the chess piece and waved his hand: "No, no, continue to play, it's just that I bullied Wen Qing.

" Prime Minister Ling Wen breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and was about to leave, but was stopped by the emperor, "I see that you have been bored these days, and you need to tie the bell to untie the bell. Since it was caused by that bastard. , let him come forward to solve the problem himself."

Prime Minister Wen raised his eyes, the emperor still looked indifferent, looked at him with a smile but not a smile, he lowered his eyebrows and respectfully said: "But it is up to Your Majesty to decide. "

Just now, when the emperor said that sentence, he was a little confused. The emperor was dealing with all kinds of opportunities, and it was fortunate to be able to notice his emotions. But that's all, it's just the emperor's concern for his subjects.

Prime Minister Wen resigned and left, the emperor sighed, Wen Qing had been haggard for the past few days, and the bastard actually dragged Wen Qing into the water. Let that bastard resolve this matter as soon as possible, so that he won't have to work harder.

When Ming Yu found the eldest princess, the eldest princess was preparing for someone to invite them to participate in the essential part of the garden party, that is, such elegant things as reciting poems and talking about the ancients and the present.

In fact, such links are all the same with minor differences, either drumming to pass flowers, or water flowing, in short, literati and elegance are essential. Ming Yu just wanted to see the excitement. If he really wanted to let him play, he couldn't do it. Everyone knew the books in his stomach, so he just read the pictures.

What the eldest princess is preparing today is the Qushui Liujing, that is to say, sitting on the ground beside the flowing stream, putting down a liquor-filled liquor in the upper stream, and the liquor will flow down with the water. It flows in front of everyone, and when the drum stops to see who it stops in front of, it is the person who writes poetry and composition on the fly.

This is an elegant literary thing that contemporary literati and Yikes like most. Generally speaking, there are always some proud works spread out at every event. If some famous works can appear, they will be admired by the world, and maybe they will be passed down through the ages, why not do it.

The eldest princess and Ming Yu were sitting upstream. As the presiding judges, after the order was given, the drums sounded densely, and everyone happily prepared to show their talents.

Ming Yu also watched the fun. It was quite interesting to listen to these people recite poems, at least not for fun.

The eldest princess still remembers Ming Yu's life-long events. Now that she is free, she wants to ask to see if there is any progress. It doesn't matter if there is no progress, anyway, holding a few more literary conferences and letting Ming Yu come to play more, how can it be effective?

"Fourteen, I just had a lot of fun watching you throwing pots and playing in the pot. You are shocked by your skills. I'm afraid no one in the capital can match it, right?" The eldest princess started.

She had already heard about the matter of throwing the pot just now, thinking that Ming Yu had specifically inquired about the girl Shangguanling before. Shangguanling is a girl who likes to throw pots, so when Ming Yu went, she must have taken a fancy to that girl, right? Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to display his skills and amaze everyone's eyes. Man, who doesn't want to show his strengths in front of the girl he likes?

He had already forgotten what happened with Xie Yixiu just now. However, mentioning this, Ming Yu remembered that Xie Yixiu taught him to throw the pot, such an intimate contact.

I didn't realize it before, but when I think about it now, I think of Xie Yixiu's confession to him just now. Only then did I understand that Xie Yixiu had always been thinking about it, and being so close, he could smell each other's breath. He glared fiercely at Xie Yixiu, who was on the side, but he wished he could have a hole to dig into, and his face turned red again unconsciously.

Seeing this, the eldest princess thought that Ming Yu was blushing because of Shangguan Ling.

He smiled and said, " Shangguanling is a good girl, and Ben Gong also thinks it's good. If the fourteenth brother likes it, Ben Gong can help you match." See the princess's intentions. Only the fool, Ming Yu, didn't know that, but luckily, he was the first to attack, otherwise, with Ming Yu's temperament, he might have been kidnapped.

Ming Yu is very shrewd about other things, but when it comes to emotional matters, he is completely blind, as ignorant as a blank sheet of paper.

Ming Yu really didn't understand the situation, and after hearing what the eldest princess said, he said blankly: "Matching? What?" The

eldest princess rolled his eyes at him, and was still pretending to be stupid with her here, "Matching you to keep up with Guanling, you Don't you have a crush on her, like her? What's so embarrassing about it?"

"Gah?" When did he have a crush on Shangguanling? He just fell in love with Xie Yixiu, but unfortunately it's gone now.

The eldest princess thought that he was too shy to speak, "Fourteenth brother, don't be afraid, this palace asks the royal father for you personally, and your wish is fulfilled."

Ming Yu was surprised by this, and he glanced at Xie Yixiu. , Xie Yixiu wondered what he was thinking? His face was gloomy, and the aura around him dropped several times. God, do you want to be so exciting? Hearing Xie Yixiu's confession just now, he turned his head and was talking about his marriage again. This was putting him on fire.

Frightened, he quickly waved his hand to distinguish: "No, no, this is nothing. I didn't even say a word with Shangguan, let alone what I like or not like, sister, don't talk nonsense, bad The reputation of the girl."

Ming Yu said it solemnly, and the eldest princess was suspicious, "What you said is true? Did you really like Shangguan girl?"

Ming Yu was only about to swear to God, and said anxiously: "No, no, really no."

"I didn't like Shangguan girl, what about other girls? Are there any eye-catching ones?" The eldest princess asked suspiciously.

Ming Yu was about to cry, "No, sister, don't worry about me. I have already mentioned this to the royal father, and it is up to me to make up my own mind." The

eldest princess was stunned, and Ming Yu said What does it mean? Did the royal father care about his life-long affairs? Make up your own mind. Since ancient times, it has been the word of the matchmaker who was ordered by her parents. Don't look at what elegant gatherings she holds are very lively. Young men and women can come together to admire each other and confide in them. But everyone knows that the major matters of their marriage must be considered and weighed by their parents, because behind them is the family interest, which is the responsibility of each of them and must not be violated.

The emperor could actually promise Ming Yu's marriage affairs to make up his own mind, which means that Ming Yu can do whatever he wants. There is no interest relationship that can involve Ming Yu, and Ming Yu is also free from the shackles of marriage, and there will be no help from any relatives.

The prince's marriage is not that simple. A powerful personal family might be the ultimate bargaining chip. Therefore, almost every prince's mother and concubine will start looking for a family that is beneficial to their son's future very early. Then select a girl from such a family and ask the emperor to marry him as a concubine. even if The two have never met, never had any feelings, and did not hinder the involvement of interests.

Ming Yu didn't know whether it was good or bad for him to do this, the eldest princess felt a little pity, "You! How can the emperor let you do whatever you want? That's all! Just go with you, but you have to really have someone you like, ah If you can help me, I will definitely help you."

Ming Yu breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that he would be wrong, he quickly changed the subject and asked about Song Lian that he wanted to inquire about, "Sister, do you know of a man named Song Lian? Song Lian's person?"
