My companion is a bit fierce

Qi Jialing has reached the age of Ji, and it is not good for women in Daqi to marry early, but at this age, it should be considered.

Qi Bo thought about it, Concubine Feng Gui told him about this before, and asked him to help him take a look, if there are good young talents, pay more attention, if Qi Jialing is also interested, then he can ask Emperor Xi to marry him.

Raised by Jinjiaoyugui, I always hope that she can marry someone she likes.

He glanced at Rong Jue on the other side. It's not like he didn't think about it before, Emperor Tongxi was afraid of Mobei, and if there was a marriage tie, Qi Jialing would be the best candidate.

However, since Qi Jialing had no intention of it, forget it.

As soon as today's class ended, the Guozijian officially suspended school.Rong Jue and Li Hongbao walked out of the palace gate and got into the carriage to go home.Small and large shops in Ding capital were decorated with lights and festoons, and red lanterns were hung at the door.

There is a sweet smell in the street, even the falling snow has a sweet smell.

Li Hongbao shrugged his nose: "It smells like sugar."

Rong Jue responded, and looked at the eaves in the distance, the icicles hadn't completely melted, and they were shining white in the sunlight.Crystal clear, just like rock sugar.

Maybe it's really sweet.

Dingjing is really nice.

If Mobei was like this, he would have already started to guard against the Xiongnu. How could he be in the mood to make sugar and eat sugar.

Today, after school came out early, Li Hongbao lowered his head and covered his stomach: "Ah Jue, I'm actually hungry again."

There are many foreign merchants in Nanshi, who have already gone back as the Chinese New Year is approaching.Even if the shops opened by the people of Dingjing themselves, not many opened.

Rong Jue immediately asked Li Hongbao to come to his house to have something to eat.

"This...isn't that good." Li Hongbao was very conflicted. He had heard before that Prince Rong didn't bring anything with him when he came to Beijing. Before that, Rong Jue lived alone in the Prince Rong's mansion, so it was not a problem to spend a small amount. Now that there are so many people, the same Emperor Xi might be dissatisfied with Rong Xu, and the life of Prince Rong's mansion might not be very easy.

Rong Jue didn't care much, and after reading a few words about Mobei's food, he lured Li Hongbao into the mansion.

"My father should still be discussing things with Mr. Xie, or else he is practicing martial arts. Eat something to fill your belly, and I will send you back later.

As soon as Rong Jue came back, Xiao Bai flung himself into his arms with a roar.

"Is the prince very busy?" In Li Hongbao's impression, the higher the official position, the busier he should be.What's more, as the Chinese New Year is approaching, there are many things that need to be finished quickly.

"That's right," Rong Jue casually fed Xiao Bai a piece of food, "They want to play before Feng Bao."

Li Hongbao paused: "Is... the Huns?"

"how do you know?"

Li Hongbao pursed his lips: "My father said it, he said it, if you invite me over again, I'll make it clear to you - life in the south is not easy."

"Pa-ta--" Rong Jue squeezed the pastry hard, and it all fell into pieces. Xiaobai screamed, jumped a few steps and pecked at the pieces bit by bit, and complained to Rong Jue a few times The sound should be blaming him for his waste.

Rong Jue didn't have time to talk to this gluttonous bird, and grabbed Li Hongbao's collar: "What does your father mean?" He was so excited that he grabbed Li Hongbao, his toes off the ground, and his collar stretched forward.

Li Hongbao was stuck uncomfortably, the pastry was too dry, and Rong Jue refused to let go, he choked a few times, the pastry got stuck in his throat, he couldn't get it in or out.

"Ah Jue..." The corners of Li Hongbao's eyes were slightly red, tears were about to come out.

Rong Jue knew that the biggest purpose of Rong Xu's coming here was to borrow food.Would also like some other military support if possible.

According to what Li Hongbao said, Rong Xu's trip might not be successful.

"Can't it be evened out?"

Rong Jue put down Li Hongbao, and hurriedly walked up and down the room.

He thought for a long time but couldn't come up with any good solution. Even though it was a very cold day, his collar was already a little wet.

Seeing Rong Jue like this made Li Hongbao feel uncomfortable too.He comforted: "My father said, it's not impossible, the crown prince is always on our side, if he is with Prime Minister Wang, His Majesty can't stand it, so if it's not good, he agrees."

"Qi... the prince promised to help." Rong Jue remembered what Qi Lan said before, "but Prime Minister Wang...it's hard to say."

Li Hongbao: "So, Ah Jue, you can find a way to get Prime Minister Wang to agree."

After he finished speaking, he talked about another thing.When Rong Xu came to Beijing this time, he didn't bring any tribute, and I heard that Emperor Tongxi's face was not very good-looking.

When a vassal king enters Beijing, in order to show his submission, he should prepare a heavy gift to the Daqi Emperor to show that he has no second thoughts.Five years ago, when Rong Jue entered the capital, Rong Xu was stingy, and all the big and small bags were transported to Dingjing, but he didn't give much to Emperor Tongxi, basically all went into Rong Wang's mansion.Later, Rong Jue gave gifts to Queen Wang, picked them up again, and gave them to her alone.

In other words, the gifts received by Emperor Tongxi were not as good as those received by Queen Wang.That's not to mention, after Rong Jue gave it to Emperor Tongxi, in order to show the emperor's favor, Emperor Tongxi would only keep a part, and some would be given to the harem and courtiers.

Calculated in this way, Emperor Tong Xi really did not receive the gift of loyalty from Rong Xubiao.

——Just a little bit, it's too perfunctory.

This time, when Rong Xu entered the capital, for the sake of Mobei's backup, he didn't bring anything, even the tribute from Emperor Xi was perfunctory.

——Bullshit, I can hardly get rid of the pot, where is the treasure for you, if you have it, it would have been exchanged for food money to use it.

Rong Jue twitched the corners of his mouth, he had lived in Dingjing for five years anyway, and he knew all about Emperor Tong Xi's temper.

By doing this, Rong Xu has already lost face to Emperor Tong Xi, and there are many difficulties in borrowing money.

"Tell me, will His Majesty feel better after the Chinese New Year?"

Xie Liu finished writing the memorial, dried the ink on it, and raised his eyes to see Rong Jue looking at him with complicated eyes.

Xie Liu smiled and put down the things in his hand: "Why do you ask this suddenly?"

Rong Jue told the news that Li Hongbao had brought, and thought that Xie Liu's plan would wait for a while.

"My father is not here," Rong Jue said, "If you have any real thoughts you can share, I won't tell him."

For this matter, Rong Xu could be said to be burning with anxiety.He hadn't arrived in Dingjing before, and he was able to handle it on the surface, but now he was just short of the last step, and he had been waiting all day to hand in the paper and agree with Emperor Xi.

"Do you think His Majesty will agree?" Xie Liu asked.

Rong Jue replied: "That's why I let you after the Chinese New Year!"

"There is no difference." Xie Liu picked up the memorial that was drying on the table, "I wrote several copies, do you want to read it?"

Is it a waste to prepare several copies for the same meaning?

"Are you practicing calligraphy, or are you chasing the elegant and graceful fonts, which dazzled His Majesty's eyes, and you agreed after a moment of dizziness?"

Xie Liu picked up a booklet and wanted to hit Rong Jue: "If you keep messing around, I won't tell you."

Walking a few steps quickly, avoiding Xie Liu's attack, Rong Jue scanned through several books, each of which had the same wording, the biggest difference was how much was borrowed.

Xie Liuxie looked at Rong Jue: "Understood? This is the basis of whether His Majesty will agree."

Rong Jue clicked his tongue a few times, it seems that borrowing more and borrowing less is also learned, the lack of Mobei is not enough, and the excess of Tongxi Emperor will be painful.

Xie Liu concluded: "Before the Chinese New Year, Your Majesty wants to seal the treasure. No matter what, this memorial will be delayed until after the Chinese New Year. We don't have much time to hand it in after the Chinese New Year. If Your Majesty delays, what will we do then? So, This memorial is handed in at about the same time, of course we have borrowed a lot, His Majesty must have had a bad year."

It is said that it is borrowed, but Mobei may not necessarily repay it.

——As long as Rong Xu said that the people of Mobei have the hearts of His Majesty, could it be possible that Emperor Tongxi would return the grain and grass that he lent to Mobei?

"Anyway, it's better to submit it first, at least give His Majesty a time to think about it during the Chinese New Year." Xie Liu smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes.

Rong Jue was taken aback: "The first day of the Lunar New Year is the second prince's birthday, shall we go then?"

The Feng family will definitely go back when the time comes.

In the whole Daqi, in terms of leading the army, only Feng Wei and Rong Xu are comparable.

This Chinese New Year, Feng Wei also came back.

And the crown prince has just been decided not long ago, if Feng Wei has an opinion, Emperor Tong Xi will also seriously consider it.

Xie Liu understood Rong Jue's concerns, but it was impossible to change the crown prince's position at will, and once the court was changed, there would be turmoil. As long as Emperor Tongxi was still in his normal mind, he would not do such a thing.

"If the voice of opposition is not too loud, the seat of the prince is very stable." Xie Liu said a few words, "You have been with the prince for so long, why don't you know him?"

If Qi Lan was really an idiot, it was impossible for Rong Jue to choose him, and Lu Changming would not think so highly of him.

The two were talking when Rong Xu came.

He listened to a few words, and they arranged the sidewalks.He looked at Rong Jue: "Ah Jue is getting older now, it's time to learn more. After returning to Mobei in a few years, Yunzhou will be handed over to you!"

"Give it to me? Where is the father going?"

"I'm going to Yunguan." Rong Xu took the brazier from the people below and put it next to Xie Liu, "The Huns in Yunguan have long been restless, and if they don't teach them a lesson, they don't know who Mobei belongs to. The site is gone."

Xie Liu handed all the written memorials to Rong Xu and asked him to choose one.

Rong Xu pondered for a while: "If we really want to start a war, these are not enough."

"Do you want the most?" Rong Jue also got up to look.

Rong Xu sighed: "Of course, the more the better, Mobei is really struggling this year, so the harvest is better on the Lingjiang side, and the border is all dependent on Yunzhou's dispatch and relief. There are not many that survived in Yunzhou last year." gone."

The weather is getting colder and the life is more difficult, people will eat more unconsciously.

And the border is even colder, and the consumption of food and grass is only a lot more.
