Chapter 375

With Xie Qian's support, Jiang Ning quickly set out from the capital with the original northwest generals and rushed back to the border.

When the emperor expressed his dissatisfaction with eucommia ulmoides, he had to harden his head and prepare food for the border officers and soldiers.

These days, when the frontier passes the memorials one by one, few people ask for money and food, but they talk about the lack of iron.

The emperor retired from the early Dynasty and stopped Xie Qian.

"Ai Qing, you have a good idea. Duzhong has prepared enough food and rates these days, but the border has started to lack iron wares. What can we do?"

Xie Qian frowned and asked, "it's dry in the northwest. Most of the irons are not easy to rust. Why are they so damaged that they begin to ask the imperial court for weapons?"

The emperor sighed: "Ai Qing doesn't know something The northwest is good. It was three years ago when the imperial court used weapons. "

Indeed, Xie Qian did not say anything more.

The imperial court firmly held the power of salt and iron mining in its hands. In addition to the weapons necessary in wartime, it was very strict on weekdays. Even Jiang Ning was in a detached position in the imperial court, and never asked for weapons beyond his duty to the northwest army.

The Emperor didn't think that it was easy for the northwest army to realize how difficult it was after reading the distribution records of iron wares submitted by the Ministry of war.

The barracks nearby will need to change a batch of iron weapons at most two years, but the northwest army, apart from the losses in the war, has carried on for three years without asking the imperial court for a knife and a gun.

Seeing that he had spent a lot of heart on fighting for the northwest these days, Xie Qian only said in a slow voice: "it is not necessary for the emperor to do all the small things by himself. Although the Secretary of the Ministry of war is also one of the forces of the aristocratic family, it is one of the six departments. Why does the emperor not use it? "

The emperor glanced at Xie Qian and said, "you asked Lin radial to remind me a few days ago that Luhua, the son of the Secretary of the Ministry of war, and Mengqing were very close to each other. How could you persuade me to use his father today?"

Xie Qian shook his head: "preparedness is one thing, employing people is another. Lord Lu really has the ability. Otherwise, he would not have been the Secretary of the Ministry of war for so many years. If the emperor abandoned the whole military department because of the relationship between Luhua and xiaowangye, he would have given up eating because of choking. "

The emperor paused and muttered: "it's you who remind me not to use it. Now it's you who say I give up eating because of choking. There's always a reason for Aiqing."

As they were talking, Duke Da came in quietly from the gate of the hall. While the emperor was looking at the memorial, he asked with a smile, "Your Majesty, beauty Xu has brought us soup. Are you

The emperor frowned. On weekdays, he didn't like the concubines in the harem coming to make fun of him when he was in office. Even the concubine Li, who was good at making soup, knew how to avoid disturbing her at this time.

He just wanted to scold father-in-law, but he came back to himself: "you just said, who is it?"

Father in law's voice was not high or low, only repeated once: "back to the emperor, it's Xu Meiren."

The emperor subconsciously took a look at Xie Qian and said to Dagong, "let her bring it in."

This beauty Xu was sent by Xie Qian. She used to be a maid in Xie's house.

Because of his surname Xu, he was granted a talent when he entered the palace, and gradually rose to a beauty after he went to bed.

Duke Da respectfully went out of the hall to call for someone. The emperor lowered his head and began to deal with the memorial on the case.

When the beauty Xu came in with the tray, the emperor did not raise his head, but raised his hand to signal her to put the things aside.

The hall was quiet for a moment.

Da Gonggong has been following the emperor for many years, and his ability of observing words and expressions has long been perfected.

Now seeing the emperor clearly looking at the memorial, but his eyes did not move, we can see that he had already begun to travel in the sky, and did not know what he was thinking.

Da Gonggong said with a smile: "emperor, this soup can really arouse the slave's greedy insects, and smell the fragrance from afar. We can see the heart of beauty Xu. "

The emperor raised his eyes and looked at the woman standing by quietly, without speaking.

At this time, he noticed that there were two porcelain bowls in the tray that Xu Meiren brought up.

"I'll give you a bowl first." The emperor said lightly.

Xu Meiren's voice should be.

Xie Qian was originally drooping his eyes. Hearing the words, he raised his head and glanced at the expression on the emperor's face, and his sword eyebrows were slowly frowning.

When Xu Meiren finished the soup and brought it to Xie Qian, the man said, "thank you, madam."

Her slender fingers may have been scalded by the porcelain bowl, and her fingertips trembled slightly. She only dropped her eyes and did not speak.

The soup was really good. After drinking a bowl of it, Xie Qian handed it to Duke DA and said to the emperor, "emperor, if you have nothing to do, please leave."

The emperor stopped him and asked something else as if nothing had happened: "how about Xu Meiren's soup?"

Xie Qian said in a light voice: "fair."

The emperor laughed: "Aiqing thinks it's good, it's good. Xu Meiren is not bad. She was promoted to be a noble person. "

Xu Meiren knelt down and said, "thank you, Emperor."

Mr. Da didn't really understand such a play.

If the emperor had a grudge against the origin of beauty Xu, he would not have been promoted to the position of beauty Xu because of Xie Qian's words. But if he said that he didn't care, it was obvious that he had some temper.Da Gonggong sighed in his heart that the emperor's mind, as long as it is related to Xie, must be incomprehensible to others.

Xie Qian wanted to leave, but he was left by the emperor. On the contrary, Xu Guiren and Da Gonggong, who had just been promoted, were sent out of the palace.

For a moment, only the emperor and Xie Qian were left in the hall.

The emperor said with a smile: "since he entered the palace, he has not had any contact with Xie's house. On weekdays, he has never had any contact with Lin radial, the imperial bodyguard. Did Ai Qing choose such a person to send to the palace

Xie Qian said in a low voice: "since you have left Xie Fu, you are no longer a member of Xie Fu. Now Xu GUI Ren is the emperor's concubines, and I dare not transgress. "

The emperor then said, "when I hear that you have come to the palace and sent me a bowl of soup, I feel that this gentleman Xu is a good woman for his old love."

Xie Qian didn't understand his intention, and his sword eyebrows frowned slightly. He said frankly, "the emperor's generals and ministers are staying, so they want to discuss with his ministers how about the concubines in his Majesty's harem?"

The emperor definitely looked at Xie Qian for a while, and saw that the expression on his face was as calm as usual. He suddenly laughed.

He shook his head and said, "that's all. I think too much."

The emperor was not suspicious, but after sitting in this position for a long time, he was used to all kinds of tricks in front of him and behind him. He was subconsciously on guard against Xie Qian.

But the emperor was relieved when he thought about Xie Qian's intention to send people into the palace.

He filled himself a bowl of soup and said to Xie Qian: "now there are no royal concubines in the back palace. They are imperial concubines Jing and Li. They quarrel under my eyes day by day. Fortunately, there is no trouble. Otherwise, they will laugh off other people's big teeth. When I was tired, I went to see Xu Guiren, and I felt much more comfortable. "

Xie Qian said in a low voice: "one day, your majesty can do whatever you want. You don't have to look at the faces of the aristocratic families. You don't have to force yourself to do things you don't like and see people you don't like."

The emperor drank the soup, and his heart was warm.

Xie Qian was keen and saw the emperor's contradiction at a glance -

he could not completely trust the people coming out of Xie's house, but found a moment of respite and peace here. He was really in a dilemma when he wanted to feel out and was afraid of destroying the friendship between the monarch and his ministers.

When the emperor slowly finished a bowl of soup and put down the porcelain bowl, he said to Xie Qian: "the general mentioned to me before he went out to the war that he wanted to take Lin radial to the northwest. I see, now Yao Chao can do everything in front of the imperial court properly. If so, let Lin radial follow. What does Aiqing think? "

Xie Qian answered: "Your Majesty's decision is."

The emperor chuckled: "after all, it's your nephew. Do you want him to fight in the battlefield? If you're around me, you'll be comfortable and stable, and you'll be able to rise in a few years. Isn't it more reliable than going to the northwest to earn military merit? "

Xie Qian raised his eyes and said seriously: "it is Lin radial's duty to throw his head and blood for the country and the monarch. Your majesty doesn't have to think about it. Just let him go. "

The emperor looked at Xie Qian's face without half a point of reluctance, but also put down his heart, waved his hand and let him leave the palace.

The power of Chaozhong aristocratic family is ready to move these days. He should sharpen Lin radial's sword
