Greetings, Ninth Uncle

Therefore, it is very difficult to form a military alliance.

Cheng Yujin put down the orange peel and carefully picked off the white orange network on it. She said softly, "Your Highness, you might as well change your angle and follow it in a roundabout way."

"How to say?"

"It's inconvenient to marry courtiers, but it's always possible to marry their wives."

Li Chengjing raised his eyebrows: "You mean..."

"That's right." Cheng Yujin peeled an orange to her satisfaction, handed it to Li Chengjing, and said, "Although Yichūn Hou's mansion has not been very competitive in recent years, at first, it was indeed awarded for military merit. Xungui and Qingliu are not. In the same way, Qingliu used the imperial examinations to select scholars, but the princes all made their fortunes by military merit. In recent years, Yang Shoufu has vigorously promoted his own people, and he has put up old reputations and honors. There have long been dissatisfaction among many princes and princes. I am the daughter of honors and honors. , not from the scholarly family, this in itself is already a statement."

Yang Fucheng was a civil servant. He made his fortune with the Empress Dowager Yang and occupied the position of the first assistant. After many years, he also tried his best to cultivate his students. Of course, he received a lot of responses from the civil servants, but his military power was not at all.

The literati who came from the imperial examinations feared him, but the warriors who marched and fought were not necessarily.

And the family of honor and honor is hereditary from generation to generation. Of course, there are not many nobles who still follow the path of their ancestors and go to the military to practice well, but the thin camel is bigger than the horse, and the appeal of the old-fashioned nobles is still strong in the army, such as Jingyong Houfu. , such as Cai Guogong's mansion.

Cheng Yujin, out of selfishness, reluctantly hung up the house of the Marquis of Yichūn.

Huo Changyuan and Zhai Yanlin are still in charge of the army. Not to mention the sons of other princes who were active in the army. Cheng Yujin's background of honorable background is a natural advantage. One is the Yang family who has always emphasized literature and martial arts, and the other is the daughter of the Cheng family whose ancestors had a fateful relationship. It is self-evident who the honorable people are close to.

The real power generals and the Ministry of War are inextricably linked, which can be used as a breakthrough to break the deadlock. Li Chengjing wants to marry someone in the army, don't those honorable people want to join the Dragon's Power? It's just that it's not convenient for each other to come forward because they can't form a party for personal gain. However, Li Chengjing was inconvenient with these courtiers, and there were no restrictions on female dependents. Cheng Yujin, as a prince concubine, married several princes and wives.

Not to mention, she herself is the eldest lady of the Houfu of Yichūn, and the social circle is already among the nobles.

Li Chengjing was transparent at one point. He looked at Cheng Yujin with surprise in his eyes: "Prince Concubine's words woke up the dreamer. It seems that from now on, I will rely entirely on the Prince Concubine."

"Don't put on a high hat for me, I won't believe you didn't think of it." Cheng Yujin stretched out her hand for a long time. Seeing that Li Chengjing didn't mean to accept it, she wondered, "Don't you eat oranges?"

Li Chengjing is still sitting on the ground with the old god: "Send the Buddha to the west, is this sincerity the prince concubine feeds people?"

He wanted someone to feed him, so Cheng Yujin didn't bother to care about him, so he put it on a plate, whether he liked it or not.

Li Chengjing sighed and picked it up by himself as if resigned: "You really don't talk about fun at all."

"I've always been like this, did the prince know today?"

Chapter 114 Love

It snowed again in the middle of the night last night, and when I woke up in the morning, the sky was white.

Today is the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month. When I woke up early in the morning, the palace was filled with a cheerful atmosphere. There is no other reason, because it is a holiday.

From today onwards, the imperial court will seal the pen. Since the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, the major yamen offices will no longer be on duty, and will not resume their duty until the 20th of the year.

Because Shangyuan also has holidays, Yuanri and Lantern Festival are combined, and the annual leave lasts from the 24th of the twelfth lunar month to the 20th of the first lunar month. The emperor and the prince, who did not change in the cold and heat, and could not rest, finally got a good rest during the Chinese New Year.

Today is the last day of the court this year. Fortunately, the six major figures also want to rest. There is nothing to do in the early court, and the court will soon leave. Afterwards, Li Chengjing went to the Wenhua Palace for a short walk, and one after another, courtiers came to celebrate the New Year for him. It didn't take long before he returned to the Ciqing Palace.

Seeing Li Chengjing coming back, Cheng Yujin smiled and said congratulations to Li Chengjing: "Congratulations, Your Highness, this year's government affairs went well, everything went smoothly, and it ended successfully."

Li Chengjing was able to rest for nearly a month, and he breathed a long sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "I am really overjoyed to have married the crown princess this year. It can be seen that what you said to me at the beginning of the year is very reasonable, because it is your first congratulations, this is The New Year is really smooth and smooth. It seems that every year from now on, I have to hear you say Happy New Year first."

Cheng Yujin did not expect that Li Chengjing still remembers such a long time ago. During the Chinese New Year last year, Li Chengjing left Cheng's house to visit friends. Cheng Yujin thought he would not come back, but on the second day of the first lunar month, he saw him hurried back. At that time, Cheng Yujin was still worried about getting married. She thought that Li Chengjing was not there, so she went to catch young talents at ease, but she was hit by Li Chengjing while drinking tea with Lin Qingyuan.

At that time, in order to escape, Cheng Yujin deliberately flattered that she had waited for Li Chengjing for a long time on New Year's Eve, and wanted to be the first to say Happy New Year to Li Chengjing, but she didn't see anyone. She just talked about it casually, she couldn't remember it herself, but Li Chengjing remembered it to this day.

Cheng Yujin was a little guilty, but she couldn't let Li Chengjing see it, and nodded solemnly: "Yes. It can be seen that there is a certain number in the sky. I told His Highness that I wanted to celebrate the New Year to you for the first time every year, and then I really married His Highness. Spend your years with His Royal Highness."
