I’m the Hero, His Brother, Wear It Quickly

Yuan Jia's words were automatically translated in the emperor's mind as 'If you don't pay the army, you will rebel! ’

His heart is cold and desolate like a hailstorm, is there any emperor who is worse than him in all dynasties? If you don't want to pay the money to help the rebels raise the army to rebel!

The emperor's face was blue, and his heart was full of anger, but looking at Meng Yuanjia, who had a long body and a handsome face with a mocking smile on his face, his heart trembled, like a basin of ice water pouring him a chill, the whole Everyone calmed down.

Meng Yuanjia must have waited for him to refuse, and he just took this opportunity to make the army mutiny. At that time, his rebellion would not be a traitor and thief coveting the throne, but to seek justice for his soldiers.

Although they are both rebels, their reputations are quite different.

The emperor forced himself to calm down, ponder for a while, and analyze the pros and cons. He couldn't help but regret his clever act of deducting the army's pay before, which put him in a dilemma.

The emperor gave Yuan Jia a stiff and reluctant smile, and said, "Meng Aiqing misunderstood. I didn't deduct the salaries of the Zhenbei Army, but the treasury was empty and there was not enough money for the time being, so the distribution was delayed for a few days."

Who believes this!

But Yuan Jia still pretended to believe it and said, "Since Your Majesty said so, of course Wei Chen still believes in His Majesty, but the more than 300,000 people in the Zhenbei Army rely on this military salaries to support their families. Your Majesty should not delay the payment. It is easy to cause dissatisfaction among the soldiers.”

The emperor took a deep breath and tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, and replied, "Meng Aiqing, rest assured, I will urge the Ministry of Household to raise army salaries as soon as possible, and there will be no delay in distributing them."

It wasn't enough for Yuan Jia to force the emperor to give the correct words, he also asked the emperor for a clear decree.

The emperor gave it in frustration. Yuan Jia took the emperor's will to the Ministry of Household to find Master Li, the Minister of the Household, and said to Master Li, "This is His Majesty's will, and please send the general's pay as soon as possible."

Li Shangshu read the imperial decree, and was secretly shocked. Now the emperor's situation seems to be getting worse and worse.

Although he also felt that the emperor's deduction of the army's salaries from the Zhenbei Army was a bad move, but Meng Yuanjian was able to force the emperor to change the order, which shows how bad the emperor's situation is now.

Li Shangshu was full of thoughts in his heart, without revealing the slightest on his face. After receiving the imperial decree, he said, "Please wait a few days for Duke Zhenbei. It will take time to raise military salaries."

Yuan Jia said lightly: "I also ask Master Li to be more attentive and issue army salaries as soon as possible."

Naturally, Li Shangshu would not deliberately delay the time. Originally, the military salary of Zhenbei Army was prepared early every year, but it was suppressed by the emperor this year.

A few days later, Li Shangshu sent the full payment to the Zhenbei Army.

The problems of empty salaries and embezzlement of army salaries by the imperial army are quite serious. Only the Zhenbei Army, which is in charge of the Zhenbei Gongfu's lineage, has strict control over the army. There is no such situation.

After Yuan Jia took charge of the Zhenbei Army, he managed the army more rigorously. He paid all the 300,000 Zhenbei Army's salaries in full, and none of the people who passed through them dared to sneak up on corruption. Well, naturally, he is more loyal to the general Yuan Jia.

As for the emperor who really pays the army? I'm sorry, he doesn't have any sense of existence in the Zhenbei Army.

Otherwise, Zhenbei Army would not be called "Mengjia Army" by some people with ulterior motives, and the emperor would not be so afraid of Zhenbei Gongfu.

＜＜＜＜＜＜

In the blink of an eye, another year has turned.

Yuan Jia is about to have a period of filial piety. It is said to be filial piety for three years, but in fact it is 27 months of filial piety, which is only more than two years.

The filial piety was about to end, but the most busy people in Zhenbei Gongfu were the old lady and Yan Shi, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Because the two of them were busy choosing a wife for Yuan Jia, they waited for the filial piety period to immediately decide and marry someone.

This world pays attention to the words of his parents' life matchmaker. Even if Yuan Jia is now the male master of Zhenbei Gong's mansion, his marriage still has to be decided by the Yan family.

He also didn't want to have a free relationship with any young lady. It doesn't matter if the Yan family wants him to marry anyone. After all, he won't marry him with a problematic wife.

This Yenka came back from the military camp outside the capital, and was called by the Yan family as soon as he entered the house.

"Mother, what are you looking for with your son?"

Holding a list in his hand, Mrs Yan handed it to Yuan Jia and motioned him to take a look, "You see which girl you like."

Yuan Jia took a look at the list and found that it contained some basic information about the eldest daughter of the family. Of course, there would not be any private information, but some public information such as the age of the father, the official mother, and the mother.

The candidates on this list are obviously the selections circled by the old lady and the Yan family.

The Yan family showed him the list because he was worried that those matters in the court would affect the in-laws in the back house, so he asked Yuan Jia to choose it himself, so that the two women who did not understand the affairs of the court would choose a political opinion for Yuan Jia. Incompatible father-in-law.

Yuan Jia glanced over the entire list, and quickly recalled the interpersonal relationship map of these women's father and mother's family in his mind, which ones were from the emperor's side, which ones were neutral, which ones were close to the Zhenbei Gongfu, and which ones were valuable to win over. Which of their own virtues are deficient will not last long in the future...

Then he narrowed the list down to three families and said to the Yan family: "Mother, there is no problem with marrying these three families. As for which one to choose, it is up to the mother to inquire more about the woman's character. After all, the position of the hostess of Zhenbei Gongfu is not Anyone can sit."

After reading the family background, it is time to look at the character and ability of the woman.

After all, the hostess of Zhenbei Gong's mansion may not be able to be a mother in the world in the future.

Although Yan Shi didn't know that her son had rebelled in her heart, she felt that her son was the best in the world, and a goddess deserved it. Naturally, she had to choose the best wife for her son within the range of options.

After looking at the list of the three families drawn up by Yuan Jia, the Yan family went to the old lady with great interest. The two launched their personal connections to inquire about the performance and reputation of the three families in the boudoir.

Yuanjia's grandmother and mother were busy choosing a wife for him, and they were waiting for him to get married. At the same time, some people in the palace had the idea of ​​Yuanjia's marriage.

For more than a year, the emperor's life has been extremely aggrieved, and he is not thinking about how to eradicate Meng Yuanjia, a traitorous minister.

However, he was trapped in the capital, and the edict for help could not be issued to the capital in private, and the emperor did not dare to publicly announce in the courtroom that troops from all over the country would be escorted by King Qin, for fear of angering Meng Yuanjia. The next day, he found twenty people stationed outside the capital. The Wan army surrounded the palace.

Taking a step back, the emperor did not dare to push Yuan Jia in a hurry, so he could only tolerate it himself, so the emperor's prestige in the court was getting lower and lower, and Yuan Jia's prestige was in full swing.

Except for a few loyalists who are loyal to the royal family and speculators who bet on the emperor, others either remain neutral or take refuge in the Zhenbei Gongfu.

The emperor was in a very depressed mood, and occasionally confided a few words to the queen he trusted when he was staying in the harem.

＜＜＜＜＜＜

The queen was the original wife of the emperor when he was hiding in the residence. She had been with him for nearly ten years, and gave birth to a direct prince with him. Her family had already fallen, so the queen was the most trusted by the emperor.

When the emperor chatted with the empress at Fengqi Palace, he spit bitterness to the empress: "Meng Yuanjia, a traitor and thief, has no loyalty to his ancestors. It's a shame that Gaozu trusted the Meng family so much and raised tigers. I have to endure the humiliation..."

The emperor didn't dare to tell the queen what he planned for Yuan Jia, but it's okay to use the queen as a trash can to keep spitting bitterness.

The queen and the emperor were one body, and naturally shared the enemy and scolded Meng Yuanjia, and the emperor felt very comfortable when he heard it.

However, after getting comfortable, the problem was still not resolved, and he still had to worry about how to secure his throne.

Feeling the emperor's annoyance, the empress suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, "Your Majesty, if you can't deal with Meng Yuanjia in the courtroom, why don't you deal with him in the back house. If he dies, won't the problem be solved?"

The emperor sighed and said: "I also thought about sending someone to assassinate him, when the Zhenbei army will be without a leader, the military power will naturally return to my hands, but after all, Zhenbei Gongfu has made great contributions to the court, and I can't do it well. Too ugly."

In fact, he had already sent people to assassinate him, and he had succeeded twice. Otherwise, how did Meng Yuanjia's father and brother die mysteriously?

It was just a setback in the assassination of Yuan Jia, and this move simply wouldn't work.

The empress did not know what the emperor had done, but she really thought that the emperor was someone who cared about the hero, and persuaded: "Your Majesty, even if the Meng family has made great contributions, it will not be enough to offset Meng Yuanjia's treason. The female family members of the Zhenbei Gongfu, to show magnanimity."

The emperor pretended to ponder and nodded: "What the queen said is reasonable. But how should I solve Meng Yuanjia?"

It wasn't that after he wanted to kill the hero, it was the queen who pushed him.

The queen, who tried her best to come up with ideas for the emperor, still didn't know the idea of ​​Emperor Gou's heart to excuse herself, she said, "Meng Yuanjia is about to leave the period of filial piety, so that he will be crowned, why won't your majesty give him a marriage?"

"Marriage?" The emperor's eyes lit up. He wanted to assassinate Meng Yuanjia from the back house, but he only thought of sneaking into the Zhenbei Gongfu through Meng Qi, who had a grudge with Meng Yuanjia, but he never thought that he would be able to escape from Meng Yuanjia. Jia's marriage started.

The emperor didn't think about this at first, but now that he was reminded by the empress, he immediately began to think about who to choose to do things for him.

As the Duke of Zhenbei, Meng Yuanjia holds 300,000 Zhenbei troops in his hand, and his status is extraordinary. His wife cannot be badly elected.

The noble daughter of a noble family, the emperor has no confidence to control, he himself has no biological sister, and his daughter is still breastfeeding, so he cannot marry the princess, so the emperor thought about it and thought of his cousins.

The emperor asked the queen: "Queen, how do you think I have named a few cousins ​​as princesses?"

The queen immediately understood and smiled: "The county masters can be named princesses, presumably they are all willing."
