Chapter 1320 The mother repays the daughter-in-law without restraint
Wei Shi blushed, "Your Majesty is the father of my concubine's husband, my concubine..."
As a result, Li Yin snorted disapprovingly.
"I am the Son of Heaven, the whole world belongs to me." As he spoke, Li Yin lowered his head and sniffed at Wei Shi's body, Wei Shi was shocked and ashamed.
"Is this fragrance on your body really natural?"
Wei Shi couldn't speak anymore, and could only let the emperor's father-in-law treat him frivolously, and Li Yin became more and more reckless.
There was a hissing sound, and the skirt broke.
Wei Shi was panicked and at a loss, but Li Yin aggressively tore off Wei Shi's hand covering his body, picked her up, and walked to the imperial case with her arms, and slapped away the memorials on the case, etc. , and then pressed Webster on the imperial case.
······
"Don't go back to Prince Zhao's Mansion again."
Satisfied, Li Yin hugged Wechsler who wept softly.
Webster was like a poor lamb, she didn't dare to resist the emperor, and she even hoped for all this to happen in her heart. When she wanted to refuse to welcome, and finally accepted the emperor with half-push, she still shed tears, which was even more obvious. delicate and charming.
"I am Zhao Wang's concubine, how dare I stay in the palace forever, if outsiders find out, I will have no face to live in the world."
"I said it, I am the master of the world."
On the same day, Li Yin really left Wei Shi in the Yaoguang Palace in Jiuzhouchi. He sent Gao Hu to Zhao Wangfu, and rewarded Zhao Wang with many jewels and ten beauties.
Gao Hu asked King Zhao to dismiss the crowd, and then whispered.
Zhao Wang's face was blue and purple, and he was extremely tangled. The young prince never thought that the beauty he had just adopted, Webster, would never return because he went to the palace to visit Qin Guifei yesterday and was seen by the emperor. .
"His Royal Highness King Zhao, Webster is just His Highness's new concubine. The saint gave ten beauties and a treasure worth one hundred thousand guan. His Highness won't be reluctant to serve one concubine, right?"
Zhao Wang felt extremely absurd, and even felt angry in his heart, but in the end, under Gao Hu's narrowing eyes, they all melted away one by one.
"It's an honor for Webster to be able to entertain his father, and it's even more an honor for Webster..."
"Hahaha, King Zhao is really filial."
Gao Hu sat for a while and then left, bringing back a handwritten letter from King Zhao.
Return Webster to the Wei family.
Gao Hu went out of the Zhao Wang Mansion, and went directly to the Wei Mansion.
A moment later, the Wei family respectfully sent Gao Hu out.
Wechsler's father had just been promoted by the emperor from joining the army in Puzhou to be the governor of Puzhou, and his eldest son was also awarded the post of meritorious officer in Gongxian County, Henan Province.
Escorted Gao into the carriage and watched the carriage drive away. Several men from the Wei family returned to the house, and then they all sat there silently.
After a long time, everyone could only sigh.
Father-in-law snatches his son's concubine, which is unprecedented in ancient times.
But thinking of the rumors that today's son once had an affair with his concubine's mother, Wu Cairen, everyone felt that it was not surprising. When the emperor was still the prince, he had an affair with Wu Cairen. Later, Wu Cairen accidentally burned to death in the inn, and the emperor recalled Xu Chongrong to Luoyang, and entered the inner palace for luck.
So it is said that the emperor acted a little foolishly.
Of course, didn’t Emperor Shengzu also kill his younger brother Yuanji and then bring Yuanji’s concubine into the palace?
Yuanji's concubine, Yang Shi, is still his wife.
It’s just that this kind of thing happened to my own family, which always made the self-proclaimed famous Wei family feel very disgusted, but faced with the seal just given by the emperor, the Wei family could not refuse.
First, the rewards are generous, and second, they dare not offend the emperor.
That is a ruthless emperor who can kill even the first assistant of the Yuan Dynasty.
Gao Hu returned to the palace, and Li Yin asked him to explain the situation in front of Webster. After hearing the reactions of her husband Zhao Wang and his father and brothers, Webster was both relieved and sad.
A woman is like clothes, she is really as insignificant as a piece of clothes.
"You heard me."
Li Yin laughed out loud, but Webster could only bow his head.
"You stay here for a few days first, and then I will send you to a Taoist temple on the outskirts of Luoyang to practice for a period of time. Then I will formally admit you into the palace, and then I will make you a talented person first."
As he spoke, Li Yin hugged the beauty and gave her a big kiss.
"I'm already a little bit reluctant to let you go."

Zhongshu, Zhengshitang.
The prime ministers are all here, and everyone is seated.
On the left is Zhongshu Ling Xu Jingzong, on the right is serving Zhong Li Yifu, then the left servant is Cui Dunli, and the right servant is Laiji... There are seven prime ministers in total. Xu Jingzong is in charge of the political affairs today, so he is in charge of presiding Discuss and make a summary of the meeting.
Xu Jingzong is considered to be the oldest among the prime ministers. He has been in the political affairs hall for more than 20 years. After Changsun Wuji and others were purged, Cui Dunli is also older.
Li Yifu, Laiji and others are all underachievers.
However, Xu Jingzong was a tactful person, even to Li Yifu, whom he brought up with his own hand, he was always polite and never put on airs of seniority.
"Cough! My lords, there are five main topics for today's meeting. Let's talk about the first one first. These years, the big cannibals have become more and more powerful. They beat Persia and kicked Rome. These years, they almost conquered the entire territory of Persia. , the Khorasan area of the Persian Protectorate established by the Holy Ancestor when he accepted the Persian emperor, is now almost completely occupied by Dashi. Now there are only two cities left: Jiling and Mulu, two cities, one south and one south. North, more than two thousand miles away."
The military is under the control of the Privy Council, but the Privy Council only cares about fighting, and the logistics still needs the support of various ministries of the court.
"According to the will of the sage, the Privy Council is already drafting a counterattack against Dashi. This time the scale of the battle will be relatively large. At that time, the Khazar Dufu, Tocharo Duhu and Zhaowu Duhu will be recruited, as well as The Governor's Mansions of Mengchi and Kunling, as well as the Governor's Mansion of Anxi and Beiting, Qinghai, and Hexi all sent troops to gather in the Western Regions, and this battle will ensure the stability of the border of the Western Regions for a hundred years."
"The imperial court wants to restore the Persian Protectorate, to recover the Khorasan area, and to deal a heavy blow to the big cannibals. We don't care about the war, but the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the food and grass go first. Our Zhengshitang must do everything for the war. The preparations for food, grass, equipment, and civilian labor all need us to make overall arrangements."
"After the army regains the Khorasan area, we must be able to provide food supplies in a timely manner, and we must also provide officials to take over the administration."
Li Yifu and other prime ministers are very calm, mainly because they have been fighting all these years and conquered many areas such as Liaodong and North Korea, so the imperial court has already established a very mature system. Although the Persian Capital Protectorate is far away, the imperial court is in the Western Regions It has already established a strong force.
Not only were Anxi and Beiting Dudufu established in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains to implement direct rule, but also in the farther west, Gongyue, Suiye, Dawan, and Persian towns were successively established. These towns all controlled important places, such as Gongyue Town In the Yili River Valley, Suiye Town is in Suiyechuan, Dawan is in the Fergana Basin, and Persian Town is in Mulu City in the Amu Darya Plain.
These four towns are critical areas. After 20 years of operation, the four towns now have more than 20,000 troops stationed, with less than 100,000 soldiers and civilians who have settled in the colony.
Relying on these four towns, Datang has been able to keep the Western Regions safe and sound over the years, and it is also relying on these four towns that the Silk Road in the Western Regions has always been smooth.
Therefore, Dashi has been moving eastward before, and there have been frequent conflicts with Datang, but the scale is small. The Tang army has always controlled the Western Regions. The so-called Persian Protectorate, in fact, is just a place in the northeast of the original Persian Sasanian territory established by the Tang Dynasty. of a buffer.
Dashi has been advancing encroachment over the years, but Datang has no plans to go to war with Dashi, so until now there are only two cities left in the entire Persian Protectorate, one south and one north separated by two thousand miles.
The big cannibals have no intention of stopping. They are already preparing to continue to move eastward. The next step is to invade Tocharo and Zhaowu, the two protectorates of the Tang capital. Among them, Mulu City is also the first to bear the brunt. This has already threatened the Great Tang Silk Road. The trade line is intolerable to Datang.
This battle, after waiting for twenty years, is still about to start.
The military has been prepared for a long time, and it also believes that it is sure to win. What Zhengshitang needs to do is administrative support, and this is also experienced.
Just follow the usual practice, there is nothing to discuss.
"Okay, the first issue has been passed, now let's talk about the second issue. The battle of the southern expedition to Huyue has also begun, the rebellion of Xiqi and Mohe has ended, and the imperial court has also sent troops to the south to conquer Huyue. The key point It is still a question of the supply of logistics food, grass and equipment..."
Lai Ji waited for Xu Jingzong to finish speaking, and then said, "The Xiqi Mohe rebellion in the northeast has just ended, and the soldiers have no time to rest. Now that the Western Regions and the big cannibals are about to fight again, should the southern expedition to Piaoyue be postponed for a while? ?”
"The Southern Expedition to Piaoyue has already been decided, and it's been a year since the preparations. How can it be stopped at this time?" Xu Jingzong said.
"Although Huyue is weak, it is too far away, especially in the southwestern jungle, which is more difficult to march and transport. We have prepared for a year, but it is still not enough to support a 100,000-level army in a full-scale southern expedition. Should we slow down, such as simply Let’s fight the battle of the Western Regions first, and when it’s over there, we’ll be able to send more money, food and equipment to the southwest front line?”
But Xu Jingzong still said, "Conquest and warfare are the responsibility of the Privy Council. Our political affairs hall has no right to interfere. Now that the saint's war order has been issued, our political affairs hall has to go all out to provide logistical support. It doesn't matter whether we fight or not. We have the final say."
Cui Dunli said, "It is indeed too difficult to transport money, food and equipment to the front line of Lishui Mansion. After entering Yongchang Road, most of the road sections can only be transported by donkeys or elephants. It is extremely difficult to cross mountains and ridges. Prevent barbarian attacks, or miasma.
"Even if it is difficult, we must find a way to solve it."
"What I mean is that it is too difficult to transport grain and grass on the northern route. The strategic deployment of the Privy Council is also at the north and south ends, with water and land advancing side by side. King Qin Lang of Qi also expressed his willingness to provide the Qin family's four commercial strongholds on the south coast of Piao to the court navy. Then, can we consider transporting more equipment and food from the sea?"
"At that time, as long as the southern expedition army can advance north and south, and open up the Lishui waterway first, wouldn't it be possible to use food from the south to the north, and avoid the difficulty of transportation in the north?"
