Her uncle jumped to object. If the military pay was increased by so much every year, he could definitely guarantee to resist Li Guo...
It's a pity that he is still in the south... He is too far away, and no matter how much he opposes, it is useless.
He Chirang naturally disagreed, but his opinion was useless.
On the other hand, although the murder case has been determined, he is still busy at Dali Temple every day.
Still secretly tracking down the mastermind behind the murder.
What surprised Lin Xi the most was that Zhong Xiao actually stood up and insisted against taking money to settle matters.
It's rare to have some courage...
He was also accused by the prince's party of being unkind and ignoring the overall situation.
——
Su Yangyang has been feeling depressed recently.
She didn't understand why Zhong Xiao wanted to go against the emperor. After all, the money offered was not much...
If Emperor Zhou was offended by this, how could he give her a side room?
You won't let her be your concubine...
There were also the two maids in Zhongxiao's room. After much thought, she decided that sending them to Zhuangzi was not an option.
It would be bad for her reputation and make people think she is too harsh.
So she and Shen Chongxiao suggested that they be sent to the newly opened medicine hall to work. Unexpectedly, he did not agree directly, but called the two maids to ask for their opinions face to face.
Bai Cui and Ji Qin immediately knelt down and cried, saying that they were willing to stay in Prince Xin's Mansion and continue to serve their master.
Su Yangyang frowned as she heard this, feeling very sad and displeased.
The two maids initially envied Dr. Su's abilities and admired her exquisite thinking.
Now I no longer have any good impressions of her.
Because Miss Su likes to impose her ideas on others and help you make decisions under the guise of doing your best.
Giving alms from above, even if the intention is good, makes people unhappy.
Today Zhongxiao entered the palace to ask for permission to seal the side room for Su Yangyang.
While the father and son were talking, they had another argument about Li Guo.
Later, Zhongxiao was invited out of the palace.
Su Yangyang had been waiting for a day. When she saw the man walking in, she asked expectantly: "Has your Majesty agreed?"
"...No, I offended my father, so I didn't mention you to avoid you being implicated."
Su Yangyang's face turned a little pale, but she just smiled and said nothing.
She was extremely disappointed and felt that Zhongxiao was acting on his own initiative and didn't think about her at all.
After the other party left, Su Yangyang packed her luggage and left the Prince's Palace without saying goodbye.
Chapter 70
◎Run away with a bucket◎
Liang Jingan could not leave the military affairs in the south and come back.
But regarding the covenant signed by Emperor Zhou, ten memorials were issued in succession to admonish him.
Basically one letter a day.
But there is still no way to recover, the matter is a foregone conclusion.
He even sent a letter to Lin Xi, asking her to talk to the Queen Mother and ask the Queen Mother to persuade the emperor.
When Lin Xi took Feng Ye into the palace to pay his respects to the Queen Mother, he took advantage of the situation and mentioned it.
Of course you have to listen to what your uncle says, but her advice is useless, and neither is the queen mother's. Instead, trouble will arise.
I simply compromised and said it, but just casually.
Liang Jing'an kept giving memorials and admonitions.
In the end, Emperor Zhou was furious at the reply and explicitly prohibited him from mentioning it again.
I often complained to my confidant eunuch in private.
If he hadn't seen Liang Jing'an's hard work and high position, he would have dismissed him long ago.
Lin Xi had a vague hunch in his heart that although his uncle had been dissatisfied with the emperor in the past, he was still loyal.
Even a little foolish and loyal.
But this time it's over, I'm afraid I'll be disappointed.
It's heartbreaking... it's so heartbreaking!
He was unwilling to seize the throne and become the emperor himself, but he was the most worried person in the entire court. He was criticized for having great power and was coveted.
If his uncle figured it out, the Duke's Mansion would be able to retreat bravely. Stop playing with them.
Why put yourself at risk?
Besides, since the two countries are now unable to fight each other and his uncle has taken the initiative to resign, Xiao Chunhe, who was sent to the southern border, has nothing to do even if he has evil intentions.
This can be considered a good thing.
On the third day after the covenant was signed, Emperor Zhou received Liang Jing'an's resignation memorial.
The memorial said that since Li and Zhou had become allies, there would be no war in recent years.
He was feeling unwell and wanted to be transferred back to Beijing from the southern border.
Ask the emperor to appoint new generals.
Liang Jingan made arrangements and prepared enough food and grass for at least three months.
Unexpectedly, an imperial edict came down, telling him not to fight, but to directly hand over all the prepared food and grass to Li Guo.
Liang Jing'an was not afraid of charging into battle, or even dying in battle, but he never expected that he would train hard on weekdays and boost morale several times before the war.
And then...lost without a fight.
Emperor Zhou's "surrender" made their southern generals feel chilled. They felt that their salary was in vain and they felt that they had failed the Li people.
It seems that all persistence is meaningless.
Liang Jingxin felt cold and resigned.
Since the imperial court only needs ministers and no generals, then he does not need to take on empty posts and white-collar salaries.
When he did this, he was angry and desperate, hoping that Emperor Zhou could rein in the situation...
Emperor Zhou was surprised when he received the memorial from the British Duke asking for his resignation.
He was still angry. He didn't expect that Liang Jing'an would dare to threaten him instead of helping him solve his problems?
Emperor Zhou has become increasingly mentally and physically exhausted recently. On the one hand, he does not want to cause trouble or face any setbacks, but on the other hand, he is paranoid and suspicious.
In addition, around him, there are always ministers who are good at guessing the hearts of many people and fanning the flames.
In anger, Emperor Zhou simply changed his mind and agreed to the other party's request.
Do I need to rely on you alone for my fortune?
After all, they had been emperors and ministers for many years. Emperor Zhou approved Liang Jing'an's resignation, but he began to feel uneasy.
So I invited the monks and performed several blessing rituals.
Because of these rituals, ministers came forward to advise the emperor that he should focus on government affairs.
Emperor Zhou was even more irritable. He prayed for good weather for the country. Why didn't those people understand?
For this matter, a sixth-rank official who was admonishing and a seventh-rank official were dismissed.
However, they were all low-level officials and had no influence on the court.
As long as there is no war, in the eyes of many people, guarding the southern border is just a fat job.
Before Liang Jing'an returned, Emperor Zhou sighed inwardly, as the newly appointed border guard Grand Prize had already set off from the capital.
Lu Yan didn't expect that things would develop like this.
However... this can be considered an unexpected gain.
In this way, it will be even more effortless to attack Zhou in the future.
These aristocratic families are all conciliatory idiots who only value their immediate self-interest and have long been corrupted by their lavish life.
As long as the troops are not approaching the city, it will not affect the internal fighting among these people.
There are very few people who are loyal to the emperor, patriotic and capable of leading troops in war.
Under such circumstances, Liang Jing'an asked Emperor Zhou to resign but actually agreed... and got angry with him.
Thinking back to fifty years ago, the Zhou Kingdom was still the overlord of the Central Plains, but now it is the sunset over the mountains and rivers.
Perhaps because of the past glory, both the emperor and the ministers of the aristocratic families were complacent and complacent.
The land is vast, so Zhao did not take it seriously when several cities were taken away from him.
The products are so rich that even if they give 80,000 taels of silver and tens of thousands of pieces of cloth to Li every year, they won't feel bad.
There is even a hint of condescension... thinking that this is a gift and charity from the overlord to the surrounding small countries.
Not knowing at all, or knowing and not caring, will encourage the other party's ambition.
When the two countries are fighting, it is more cost-effective to kill one thousand enemies and injure eight hundred than to give five hundred for nothing.
If others want it, give it to them. What if one day you have nothing to give but nothing to give?
Emperor Zhou and the prince didn't have any courage, but King Xin had some brains compared to them.
But that's just compared to them.
