Yuan Qingling felt that ambition was really endless.
However, she didn't quite understand at the same time, "The Marquis of Zhenbei only suppressed bandits and brought peace to the people, so why did he achieve such great success?"
If we talk about retreating from the enemy and protecting the country, it makes sense to be granted the title of prince.
Yu Wenhao explained: "Because the Zhenbei area has always been a serious concern for the imperial court. The population of Zhenbei is nearly 800,000, and the people's customs are extremely fierce. This is because during the previous dynasty, Emperor Jiadi issued an order to suppress bandits nationwide, and the intensity was
It was so big that the bandits and bandits all fled to the north of the town. It was on the border with the Northern Desert and it was difficult to attack. Once the imperial troops went to the north of the town, it would arouse the vigilance of the Northern Desert. Therefore, Jiadi could only let the bandits go.
Bandits took root in Zhenbei, thus laying the foundation for disaster. Every year, bandits from Zhenbei went to various parts of the Northern Tang Dynasty, burned, killed, and looted. After looting and killing, they fled back to Zhenbei. In the past few years,
, my father sent General Hu to Zhenbei to suppress the bandits. Originally, he only wanted to properly deter or suppress the bandits, but Zhenbei Hou was able to eliminate the bandits, and all the remaining ones were recruited to form the Zhenbei Army of the imperial court. In other words, Zhenbei was
The troops and horses in Hou's hands now, not counting the old, weak, women and children, are at least two to three hundred thousand, which is still a conservative estimate."
Yuan Qingling understood and said: "So, the Marquis of Zhenbei not only has meritorious service, but also has soldiers. Is this what you mean?"
"That's right. If we say that the Marquis of Zhenbei is the emperor of Zhenbei, no one will refute it. He has a self-respecting army and has great achievements. Now he is even more arrogant and domineering. Once his ambitions grow, it will be a big problem for our dynasty."
Yuan Qingling finally understood Emperor Ming Yuan's dilemma.
She felt that Emperor Ming Yuan was very kind to her.
Beitang faced this situation. He had planned everything, but she ruined all his arrangements because she did not allow other women to snatch her husband.
Anyone who is cruel would probably not be able to tolerate her life.
For a moment, Yuan Qingling was moved by Emperor Ming Yuan's love for the country and the people, and a sense of national justice burst out in her heart. She looked at Yu Wenhao sincerely and said, "Lao Wu, from now on we must be filial to our father."
Yu Wenhao was confused by her magical turn, "What? Be filial to him?"
"He is concerned about the country and the people..."
"Don't I, the king, worry about the country and the people?" Yu Wenhao narrowed his eyes, feeling that his wife worshiped me too much, so he decided to educate her on my personality, "As an emperor, he has no shirk to do these things, but as a
Father, he has repeatedly forced others to make things difficult for him and destroyed his son’s family happiness..."
Yuan Qingling interrupted him, "Stop nagging like an old lady. What's wrong with admitting that my father is a wise king?"
Yu Wenhao looked at her and severely accused, "Old Yuan, you have rebelled."
Yuan Qing chuckled, "Okay, okay, have you eaten? If not, I'll ask someone to prepare it for you."
Yu Wenhao snorted: "I can't eat anymore, I'm full of anger, you're disobeying me, I'm very upset."
Yuan Qingling walked out with a smile and asked Man'er to make him something to eat.
He said he wouldn't eat it, but when Man'er was ready and served it, the meal was still a mess.
He looked up at the warm smile between Yuan Qing's brows and said, "Beifeng is not full, so he still has to eat something real."
Grandma Xi and Man'er came in and said to Yuan Qing: "The hot water is ready, the princess can take a bath."
Yu Wenhao stood up and said, "I'm here to help you."
Now that her belly is a little bigger, it is not very convenient for her to take a bath. In addition, she doesn't like to have Nanny Xi and Man'er around to take care of her, so she is sometimes very embarrassed by herself.
