An Huajin has indeed encountered many assassinations since she was a child. Assassinations are a common occurrence for her.
"That's right, Your Majesty, you don't think that I can grow up peacefully, without any illness or disaster, and always be safe in the honey pot, right?" An Huajin looked at the emperor with a look that said, "Why are you so innocent?"
Since the battle in Yuxueling eight years ago, the murders and assassinations around me have not stopped, and it is only thanks to my fate that I am still alive today."
The emperor was shocked, "Why haven't you heard from the old King Nanyang?"
An Huajin sighed, "You are busy with family affairs, how could grandpa tell you that her little granddaughter is being killed every day?"
The emperor thought about it and turned to look at Gu Qingyan who had been silent since seeing the ceremony. "Huai'an, you are extremely smart and you have been by Xiao An'er's side. Can you guess who did this?"<
/p>
"Maybe it's a spy from Nan Qi and Nan Liang?" Gu Qingyan shook his head, "I can't guess for sure. We still need young prince Chen and the adults from the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple to investigate this case to the bottom of it before we can find out."<
/p>
It’s Nan Qi and Nan Liang again!
Even Gu Qingyan guessed it was Nan Qi and Nan Liang!
The emperor almost couldn't swallow the cold breath and said angrily, "Nan Qi and Nan Liang suffered a disastrous defeat back then. How dare they still persist in their evil intentions these years?"
Gu Qingyan sighed softly and said warmly, "Your Majesty, in the battle at Yuxueling, we, the Chu State, also suffered a tragic victory."
Yes, a tragic victory, two words are enough to describe the tragedy of that year.
The emperor was speechless for a moment.
An Huajin spoke at the right time, "Your Majesty, I went to the Jokhang Temple today. Although some people wanted to harm me, I still gained something."
"Oh? What harvest?" the emperor asked.
An Huajin changed his grievance and said cheerfully, "I originally wanted to go to the Jokhang Temple to have a vegetarian meal. Although something happened on the way, I can't be afraid and stop going. So, in Chuchen and Xingbu, Dali
After the adults at the temple left, we went to the Jokhang Temple. Unexpectedly, the Jokhang Temple was really rich, with bricks and green tiles, and it was very majestic. The tea the abbot drank was the Yuqianchun provided by the emperor. I was very moved.
He said that military pay in Nanyang was tight every year, and the soldiers were not well fed or clothed. The abbot was very Buddhist-minded, so he told me that the Jokhang Temple had indeed received His Majesty’s grace over the years and had made abundant offerings. He was willing to donate five years of
The proceeds from the offering will be used as military pay for the Nanyang Army, and the proceeds from the offering for another five years will be donated to the national treasury to serve His Majesty and the Great Chu with the righteous path of the Buddha's heart in the Jokhang Temple."
The emperor was stunned.
Gu Qingyan smiled and said, "That's right. The abbot did say this. Your Majesty has been worried about the pay of the Nanyang Army for many years. I think the abbot also understands your Majesty's suffering. Now it happens that the little princess went to the Jokhang Temple to have a meal.
When I mentioned a major problem faced by the Nanyang Army, the abbot was kind-hearted and was very moved. He immediately said that he would donate the food and offerings he had eaten at the Jokhang Temple in the past ten years to show his devotion to His Majesty and his loyalty to the great Chu."
The emperor was stunned for a while and asked, "The Jokhang Temple is very rich? I don't know how much it will cost in ten years?"
"Six hundred thousand gold, that is, six million taels of silver." Anhuajin clicked his tongue and said, "One Jokhang Temple is richer than the whole of Nanyang, Your Majesty. My grandfather has been worried about military pay these years, especially after
Last year, Nanyang suffered a natural disaster and the harvest was not good. This year's military pay is even tighter. I am afraid that even if I tighten my belt, there will not be enough food for the soldiers. Before I entered Beijing, my grandfather called me to the front and gave me many instructions.
Don't mention military pay to Your Majesty. In recent years, various places have been hit by frequent disasters, and the national treasury is not rich. I didn't dare to mention it when I met Your Majesty that day. I didn't expect that the abbot of Jokhang Temple gave me such a big surprise today.
I just thought that I have to go to the palace quickly to tell His Majesty the good news."
The emperor was shocked. He seemed to have never expected that a Jokhang Temple could be so rich. He couldn't control what he was thinking and brought it out to the ground. He said doubtfully, "You are not mistaken? Six million taels of silver?"
Money and silk are so touching that even an emperor cannot remain unmoved when faced with such a huge number.
"That's right, the abbot said it himself." An Huajin said immediately, "Monks don't lie. Even if the abbot fools me, he wouldn't dare to fool His Majesty, right?"
The emperor realized that he had lost his composure, suppressed his surprise, calmed his mind, and thought about what would be the consequences if he sent three million taels of silver to the Nanyang Army? Will the Nanyang Army be overstretched all of a sudden?
Gu Qingyan reminded in a gentle voice, "Your Majesty, I feel that since the abbot of the Jokhang Temple is donating military pay to the Nanyang Army at this time, he must have gained some insight into the secrets of the great monk. After all, it has been eight years since the battle of Yuxueling.
Even if the troops of Nan Qi and Nan Liang invade, it would not be surprising. Eight years is enough time for the country to recover."
The emperor's heart thumped. He immediately thought about what Gu Qingyan said and felt that it was quite possible. After Chu Yan mentioned Nan Qi and Nan Liang to him today, he also felt that it was not impossible. Nan Qi and Nan Liang had always been ambitious.
, fell in love with Da Chu’s vast territory and rich resources, including the paddy rice in the south of the Yangtze River, brocade tea, the salt channel of the Huaihe River, etc., and has always wanted to invade Da Chu. Now that it is coming back, who can resist it?
We still have to rely on the Nanyang Army!
After a moment of mental struggle, the emperor said in a deep voice, "Based on just speculation, wouldn't it be too early to draw a conclusion in advance?"
"If you prepare early, you won't be caught off guard when you come." Gu Qingyan sighed, "After all, the King of Nanyang is old and in poor health. The Nanyang army does not have strong generals. If there is no military pay, I am afraid that
Once the enemy soldiers invade, the consequences will be disastrous."
"Your Majesty, isn't it a good thing that the abbot of the Jokhang Temple donates military salary?" Anhuajin asked pretending to be strange, "Why are you so sad?"
The emperor's expression froze.
Gu Qingyan smiled and said, "Your Majesty is worried about the incoming troops of Nan Qi and Nan Liang. Who can resist?"
"Of course it's the Nanyang Army!" An Huajin said.
"The Nanyang Army has no strong generals. The problem of military pay has been solved, but there is still the problem of generals." Gu Qingyan looked at her, "We can't let the old prince go to the battlefield."
Anhua Jin straightened his back, stood upright, and said decisively, "I'm going!"
"You?" the emperor blurted out doubts.
An Huajin looked at the emperor's suspicious face and said unconvinced, "Is your Majesty looking down on me? I grew up in the military. I can do everything my father and brother know, and my grandfather taught me step by step. I can't
Because I am a daughter, you look down on me."
Emperor: "..."
He looked at the little girl standing in front of him. She had a righteous expression on her face, and she indeed had the character of a military general. If her appearance hadn't been so beautiful and her figure so slender, he would have thought she was a military general.
p>
She...why isn't she a boy?
If she were a boy, without her father and brother, she would still be young and not have so many thoughts, but she would be a good heir to succeed King Nanyang, and he would not need to be too careful with a young boy.
It's a pity that it is a girl's family after all.
