Chapter 2330

General ashner said, "Your Majesty should have sent a new Anxi Duhu. When we return to Xizhou, Anxi Duhu should also arrive."

In fact, the new Anxi Duhu was still in the capital at this time. He only received the order yesterday. He said goodbye to his relatives and friends today and planned to leave tomorrow.

Because the war is urgent, and the distance between the two places is too far, the news lags behind. Now no one knows what the situation is in Xizhou, so he can't stay for a long time. He doesn't bring his family this time. He just plans to take the guard home to take office.

As soon as he had decided to go with him, the Chamberlain came to deliver a message, "Lord, your majesty set up a family banquet in the palace and asked you to have a light meal in the palace."

Duke Qiao thought about it and went into the palace with his wife.

It's really just a family banquet. In addition to the emperor and his wife, it's just the prince, his concubine and several princesses.

Duke Qiao saluted with his wife. The emperor waved with a smile and said, "don't be polite. Sit down and let the imperial dining room serve."

The prince led a group of sisters to call "cousin", and then sat down separately.

Of course, it's not true that royal people eat. They just eat without saying a word.

While eating, the emperor recommended Chai Wei the dishes he thought were good. By the way, he said something about the western regions, "this time you took office in a hurry. The Anxi army is brave. I'm afraid it will be a little dissatisfied. You can ask Ashina for advice."

The emperor said, "even Li Qing said that ashner was the best among the vassal ministers, and he was inferior to Han generals in strategy."

Chai Wei should go down.

The emperor thought of Guo Xiao and said coldly, "Guo Xiao is far worse than general ashner. I heard that he went to war and played with gold and silver. Even the tent was inlaid with gold and silver. He gave his military tent to ashner, but ashner refused. We can see the advantages and disadvantages of these two generals. When you go to Xizhou, you don't learn from Guo Xiao."

Chai Wei responded more seriously and said that he would manage the western regions well and never live up to the expectations of his majesty.

The emperor nodded with satisfaction, "the western region is not the width of the land in the Central Plains, let alone the prosperous population, but the commercial road. 70% of the traffic between the Central Plains and the western regions, or even farther away, depends on this western region commercial road, and only 30% lies on the sea. Therefore, you should guard the commercial road well and don't want the Turks to break the commercial road again."

Chai Wei nodded again and again.

The emperor looked at the prince and said with a smile, "I'll tell you what to tell. Ask your cousin what else to tell you?"

The prince thought, what can he say to a cousin who wants to release and master heavy troops?

Can he speak in front of the emperor? He said, can the emperor sleep at night?

The prince's heart was tucking aside, and he looked up and Chai Wei said, "brother in the west, I'd rather help make complaints about them."

He said: "the news from the last time is unclear. It's just that we found some information about cowpox, but there's no specific information. Smallpox prevention and control is a major event. They've been out for nearly a year. Should there be news?"

After taking a look at Mingda sitting on the side, he said, "also, the legitimate son-in-law is still in the team. Mingda will be filial piety after the new year. Is she married?"

The emperor wanted to talk about this for a long time. At this time, when the prince mentioned it, he immediately cheered up and nodded again and again: "yes, yes, you go to the western regions to find Bai Cheng. If they find a way to grow cowpox, they will come back quickly. If they can't find it, they have to go back to Beijing to report their work and go out again in the future."

At least come back and get married.

The emperor smiled and said, "he is your cousin husband. If you don't act well, just teach him a lesson."

Chai Wei listened to this. Didn't he see Princess Mingda sitting aside blushing?

Obviously, he is very satisfied with the future son-in-law. As the saying goes, a son-in-law is half a son-in-law. In particular, this is not only the son-in-law of the princess, but also seems to be liked by the princess. If he really teaches a lesson, it is estimated that he will be the one who will be taught a lesson.

However, Chai Wei said yes and praised Bai Cheng, "young master Bai is also a young talent. He won the Jinshi examination at a young age. He is a polite person. How can he act carelessly?"

The emperor thought of the boy who stood in front of him and patted his chest and said he would treat his princess well, and nodded secretly.

Seeing that the emperor nodded in agreement, Chaiwei didn't want to "teach" Bai Cheng.

A meal brought friendship between monarchs and ministers. No, it was the relatives who were happy. Anyway, Chaiwei finally went out of the palace with his wife happily.

Mrs. Qiao Guogong is a little worried. It's a good thing that her husband has been promoted. She went so far in the western regions. It's said that there is yellow sand. Some people don't take a bath once every six months.

Qiao Guogong's wife said to her husband, "when shall we leave for Xizhou? When you're settled? "

Qiao Guogong looked at his wife and said, "what are you going to do? It's yellow and sandy over there, the sun is still big, and the children are still young. It's the key time to study and practice martial arts. It's not easy to invite a gentleman there."

He said, "just stay in the capital. If you have nothing to do, you can go into the palace. Your majesty and your mother have a very good relationship with their mother. You can go into the palace more often. When the children are older, maybe you can go into the Chongwen museum through your mother's relationship."

Qiao Guogong's wife was stunned. "The prince is so big. Aren't there many accompanying readers in Chongwen hall now? Why do you have to enter?"

Qiao Guogong said: "as long as the crown prince is still the crown prince for one day, he has to study. The teachers in the Chongwen museum are not the crown prince, but the attendants. No matter how many times the students in the Chongwen Museum change, as long as the crown prince is still the crown prince, there must be company in the Chongwen Museum."

Mrs. Qiao Guogong:

After she paused, she whispered, "didn't you let us have less contact with the crown prince before?"

"Today is different from the past," said Qiao. "Even if the prince has a little emperor and grandson in the future... Then we will follow the imperial edict, and your majesty will not blame us."

Can the risks now be compared with those in the past?

So you can get closer.

Mrs. Qiao nodded, thinking that she didn't have to go to the western regions, she was secretly happy. As soon as she was happy, she wanted to make Duke Qiao happy. "At that time, I'll send more people to serve him. It's bitter and cold there. Someone must take care of him."

The Duke didn't refuse, but he still said, "give me a few less. Your majesty doesn't like extravagant people."

Madam Qiao Guogong should go.

Chai Wei was the emperor's nephew, his father was a founding general, and his mother and the emperor were the same mother, sister and brother. The relationship between the two sides was excellent, whether it was sister and brother, or between monarchs and officials.

In particular, his mother, Princess Pingyang, was really sad for her life and death. She was also a woman with both wisdom and courage.

Chai Wei's ability is not bad, so the ministers did not have much opinion about the emperor's exceptional promotion of Chai Wei to the position of Anxi Duhu.

Everyone accepted it calmly, and Chai Wei went to his post calmly.
