Chapter 1412 Sending Troops
Cai Ziyuan seemed to have found a place to complain, and he said to Bai Qing earnestly that Bai Jinzhi should be allowed to read more military books. It was not that Cai Ziyuan thought Bai Jinzhi had no strategy in fighting, but that Bai Jinzhi should be allowed to study hard to sharpen his temper.
Furthermore, Bai Jinzhi's growth path has been too smooth, which leads to Bai Jinzhi being somewhat arrogant and underestimating the enemy in battles now. If things go on like this... I am afraid that he will suffer a loss when he encounters a tough opponent in the future.
Originally, Cai Ziyuan planned to teach Bai Jinzhi how to play chess to temper Bai Jinzhi's temper, and also to learn the art of war while playing chess.
But Bai Jinzhi is a person who only has three quarters of enthusiasm. At the beginning, he said that he would learn from Cai Ziyuan... he would also be able to play a few games with his elder sister when he came back in the future. But he only learned for two days, and every time Cai Ziyuan came with a chessboard. When he came to find Bai Jinzhi, Bai Jinzhi ran away, faster than anyone else.
Yesterday, Cai Ziyuan went to block Bai Jinzhi early, but Bai Jinzhi actually climbed over the wall and ran away!
Cai Ziyuan knew that Bai Qingyan put him next to Bai Jinzhi, hoping that he would become Bai Jinzhi's think tank and teach Bai Jinzhi in Taoism, but this Bai Jinzhi... was simply an unteachable child!
If Cai Ziyuan hadn't been mentally strong, he would have been so angry that he vomited three liters of blood.
However, these are not important. After saying this, Cai Ziyuan considered it and said to Bai Qingyan: "Your Majesty... King Gaoyi is already a big girl. He spends all his time among men in the military camp. Your Majesty doesn't think about it. But...maybe King Gaoyi has someone he likes?"
"Who?" Bai Qingyan raised her eyes and looked at Cai Ziyuan. Her sister Bai Qingyan always felt that she was still young, so she had never thought about it in this direction.
Seeing Bai Qingyan's surprised look, Cai Ziyuan bowed to Bai Qingyan, and then said: "Your Majesty is surprised, it's Ziyuan's fault! Originally, Ziyuan planned to report this matter to Your Majesty when he came back, but Your Majesty has been busy. Since then, Ziyuan has not come to disturb His Majesty."
"You tell me first and listen..." Bai Qingyan calculated the letter Bai Jinzhi sent back before and guessed whether it was Lu Yuanpeng.
"Your Majesty, Ziyuan looks at... the direct grandson of Taiwei Lu's family and General Sima Ping of the Sima family seem to be interested in King Gaoyi, but King Gaoyi is used to being careless and regards everyone as a brother. I'm afraid... I haven't paid attention to it." Cai Ziyuan lowered his eyes and said implicitly, "Ziyuan is not the elder of King Gaoyi, and he is not a woman, so there are some things that Ziyuan really cannot say to King Gaoyi, and His Majesty needs to worry about it."
Bai Qingyan was startled, and then heard Cai Ziyuan say: "This matter... Ziyuan thought that Taiwei Lu's family was indeed loyal, but Taiwei Lu was now worth less than ten thousand people, and Taiwei Lu's eldest son was already an official. The minister is in charge of official dispatch, and Taiwei Lu's grandson Lu Yuanqing is the leader among the new generation of talents. His future is boundless! Ziyuan privately thought that...if a marriage was really going to happen, your majesty might as well consider his father being convicted and exiled, but he still harbors talents. As for Sima Ping who is not exposed, in this way...Sima Ping can better rely on His Majesty!"
Cai Ziyuan truly regarded himself as a private minister of the Bai family, so he dared to take the risk to say these words to Bai Qingyan.
"Ziyuan knows that His Majesty is not willing to use the marriages of the Bai family members as bargaining chips in political trade-offs. Ziyuan feels that King Gaoyi has not yet developed a romantic relationship with either of them, but the two of them have feelings for Prince Yuan of Gaoyi. It can be seen that they are all sincere, Your Majesty... you can send someone to guide them, and things will happen naturally!" Cai Ziyuan said after considering it, "Of course, if King Gaoyi has no interest in the two of them in the end, then let him say something else. !”
After Bai Qingyan was silent for a moment, she seemed to slowly come back to her senses. She said, "Mr. Cai has been worried about this matter, so... I'll ask Xiaosi what he means later."
"Yes..." Cai Ziyuan responded.
"This coastal matter is entrusted to Mr. Cai." Bai Qing said.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, Ziyuan will definitely handle this matter." Cai Ziyuan bowed to Bai Qingyan.

King Hancheng, who was far away on the coast, first received a letter from his wife.
In the letter, her wife told Cheng Yuanzhi, Shen Liangyu, Liu Pinggao... and Lv Yuanpeng, the grandson of Taiwei Lv, that they knelt down and begged to give back military power to King Hancheng in Wudemen, but were reprimanded and beaten by the emperor. King of Hancheng.
He wrote it in detail in the letter. His Majesty told Cheng Yuanzhi and others how to trust the words of King Hancheng.
When King Hancheng saw the letter, he became more determined to follow Bai Qingyan. He took a long breath and bowed in the direction of Dadu City.
In fact, from the time of the expedition to the present, what King Han Cheng fears most is that Bai Qingyan does not trust him!
Especially these days, these old Liang generals surrounded him, telling him all day long that even if the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty sent him here, it was just that the Zhou Dynasty did not have generals who were good at navy. The general, King Hancheng would be replaced immediately. The Emperor of Zhou did not believe in him, but just wanted to use him.
King Hancheng was actually very unhappy. At first, he sent the secret message to Bai Qingyan in order to protect the border residents along the coast. However, Bai Qingyan said that he was willing to trust him and let him lead the army. He was really He admired Bai Qingyan because of his big heart, but... now that the old man from Daliang around him said this, King Hancheng couldn't help but feel disappointed when he recalled that Bai Qingyan was surrounded by incompetent navy generals.
He originally thought that it would be enough for him to fight for the people along the coast.
Even this time, because he was worried that the people would ask Bai Qingyan for troops, he thought that Bai Qingyan might not give them.
But now, this letter from his wife was sent very timely, which stabilized King Hancheng's heart.
When he thought of Bai Qingyan fighting against all the opinions in the court and blocking the slurs and pressure from the court for him, he suddenly felt guilty, and he was glad that he had followed the right wise man, who could see his ambitions.
A letter was like giving King Han Cheng a reassurance, making his whole spirit different from the previous few days, and he obviously lifted his spirits.
He knew that Bai Qingyan was already using him to withstand the pressure of the ministers of the DPRK. This time he sent a piece of paper back to ask for troops. If he couldn't get them...he didn't blame Bai Qingyan. After all, he was anxious as soon as he arrived at the coast. When asking for troops from the imperial court, others would naturally be suspicious if they did not know that he was doing detailed work in Dongyi Kingdom.
In order to keep Bai Qingyan as a secret agent, naturally he could not announce the matter in court.
Therefore, he had to be prepared for Bai Qingyan's inability to send troops to him and make new plans.
King Hancheng, who stood in front of the sand table and watched for a long time, turned to the guards outside and shouted loudly: "Go...invite the generals to enter the tent to discuss important matters."
·
On the morning of the second day of court, there was an endless quarrel in the court about the fact that King Hancheng came to Zhezi to ask for troops.
Lü Taiwei, the leader of the DPRK, fiercely opposed sending troops to the coast.
