"If I remember correctly, nearly half of the 300,000 silver allocated by the imperial court last year was lost in Lingchuan County, right?" Jun Qingcang handed his daughter to the wet nurse who came in to nurse her. He got up and walked to In front of Zhao Kai, he lowered his head and looked solemn.
"Your Majesty, forgive me!" Zhao Kai kowtowed immediately and said: "Last year, I learned that the imperial court escorted the military convoy passing through Lingchuan. I sent people to guard the entrance to the mountain early. However, those bandits were very cruel. They I sent people to cause trouble in a nearby village and caught me off guard. I am guilty of dereliction of duty and please be punished by your majesty!"
"They will definitely want it again this year, right?" Jun Qingcang said coldly.
"Your Majesty, Wei Chen has sent all the troops and manpower of Lingchuan County to guard the mountain pass. When the time comes, Wei Chen will definitely do his best to lead the escort team out." Zhao Kai said immediately.
"Hmph!" Jun Qingcang sneered coldly and said: "My girders, my world, my mountains and rivers, it's so difficult to cross a mountain pass!"
"Father, I have something to say." Thirteen-year-old Jun Heng was teasing his sister nearby. When Zhao Kai said this, he immediately came over.
"Huh?" Jun Qingcang turned to look at his son.
"In the middle of the night today, I will take some people up the mountain to capture the thieves. First, capture the king and their leader. Tomorrow, my father will take his brother and sister to cross the mountain pass together," Jun Heng said.
Zhao Kai's expression immediately froze, and he hurriedly said: "Your Highness, you must not do it. You can't do it. The tough bandits in the mountains are the strongest ones left after several replacements over the years. You can't It’s too dangerous to act rashly!”
"Oh, how can I, the dignified Second Prince of Daliang, be afraid of these unworthy things!" Jun Heng shouted coldly. After speaking, he turned to look at the emperor and said, "Father, please grant my request!"
"Okay!" Jun Qingcang nodded, with a hint of relief in his expression: "This is my son."
"Father, son..." The eldest prince Jun Yin also stepped forward. He just spoke, but was stopped by his younger brother.
"Brother Imperial, you just need to take good care of Yue'er and accompany your father here. Your younger brother can do the killing." Jun Heng said.
On one side, the nanny came over with Ling Yue in her arms. She was nursing next door just now and listening to what was going on here.
"Yue'er!" Seeing the wet nurse carrying the little girl over, Jun Yin hurried up to hug her. However, his father was a step ahead of him: "Are you full? When you are full, play with your father for a while before going to bed!"
"Yeah..." Ling Yue couldn't help but respond to her father: "Okay, okay, let's play for a while." 】
"Hahahaha, my little treasure, you are so smart, you have already started to respond to your father, hahaha..." Jun Qingcang smiled, which stunned Zhao Kai beside him.
He had received news from the capital early, saying that His Majesty the Emperor personally escorted the military pay to the border. Zhao Kai was not surprised at all.
What surprised him the most was the most important point in the news: His Majesty's little princess, who was less than three months old, came with the emperor. The capital told him not to worry about anything, as long as he took good care of the little princess, everything would be fine.
For this matter, Zhao Kai actually has one head and two heads.
It is not easy to say that serving a king is timid.
It is really difficult to serve this three-month-old little princess!
The little princess is only three months old. What else can she do besides suck milk?
There is no need for the wet nurse to prepare anything. His Majesty the Emperor has brought it himself. What clothes and food can be better than that of the royal family?
At this time, Zhao Kai knew more about His Majesty the Emperor's love for the little princess.
Look, how depressing it was just now, how good the atmosphere in this room is now!
[Father, you scared others. 】Ling Yue was helpless and sighed silently in her heart.
"..." Jun Qingcang stopped smiling. He glanced at Zhao Kai and said, "Everything regarding the suppression of bandits will be subject to the arrangements of the second prince."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Zhao Kai responded immediately.
[Hey, the second brother is brave, but he doesn’t have that many tricks after all. Such a powerful bandit must be dealt with using tricks. 】Ling Yue burped and thought to herself.
Besides, the second brother is only thirteen years old and a brat, so Zhao Kai may not necessarily like him.
Ling Yue saw Zhao Kai clearly. He had a good-looking face and a tall figure. He was not like many officials in the capital who were fat and fat because they were well-raised.
"Yin'er, what do you think?" Jun Qingcang patted his daughter and asked his eldest son.
"I think we should attack wisely. If we attack hard, I'm afraid there are too many twists and turns on the top of the mountain, making it difficult to attack." Jun Yin said.
"Well, I think so too." Jun Qingcang loved the little daughter in his arms a little more.
Look at his little baby. He is only three months old and already very resourceful. It is estimated that there is no other child as smart as his little Yue'er in the world.
"Brother, let's discuss a countermeasure." Jun Heng said to Jun Yin.
"Okay!" Jun Yin was generous. He and Zhao Kai asked for the topographic map of Lingchuan Mountain, spread it out on the table, and began to discuss it with his younger brother, Zhao Kai, and Hei Yu.
Late at night.
Ling Yue woke up from her sleep. When she woke up after finishing the night milk, she started to listen to what her brothers were discussing.
Occasionally, she expressed a small opinion in her heart. She found that the war strategies of this ancient martial arts society were just average, not as good as those of later generations.
After all, after hundreds of thousands of years of practice, people have become more and more sophisticated.
"Father, I will be back soon!" Jun Heng knelt down on one knee and said to the emperor.
"Be careful. If something happens, withdraw immediately. No need to fight forcefully." Jun Qingcang said.
"Yes!" Jun Heng nodded. After he stood up, he glanced at his father's arms and said, "Brother, take good care of your father and sister!"
"Don't worry." Jun Yin nodded.
Jun Heng and Hei Yu set out with a hundred elite soldiers.
Here, Zhao Kai stood aside, waiting for the second prince to leave. He was about to move, but Jun Yin stared at him: "County Prime Minister, please cooperate with me here to take care of my father."
[My eldest brother is smart, there must be something wrong with this Zhao Kai. ] When Ling Yue heard what her eldest brother said to Zhao Kai, she immediately smiled happily.
Jun Qingcang sat at the desk with his daughter in his arms. He looked at the county annals of Lingchuan County for the past two years and frowned slightly.
"The people's taxes were raised just to repair temples, but five temples were built in a small county. Why? Is there an immortal in your Lingchuan County?" the emperor asked.
"Your Majesty, this was built with voluntary contributions by the people, especially the people who live at the foot of the mountain. They are more willing to fear the mountain god." Zhao Kai said.
"Oh, mountain god!" The emperor threw the county annals into the ground in front of him: "Zhao Xiancheng also obtained the honor through examination. Why do you believe in such a fictitious thing so much? Is it really verified?"
