This sentence made Wei Yunyi at a loss for words for a moment.
Indeed, it is a taboo for officials to engage in private business.
Exchange can not be ignored at any time.
Especially for the emperor.
If this problem is discovered, it must be dealt with seriously.
However, Wei Yunyi wants to be a tyrant, and most importantly, he is the only treacherous minister under his command.
At a time like this, nothing can go wrong.
He immediately thought about it for a moment, made up an excuse, and continued: "My beloved, you are still too shallow. Let's not talk about whether Sun Kejian is doing business privately. Even if he is, how can you not know that he is doing this for the court?"
"What if he gave all the money he earned from business to the court? What do you think, would that be good or bad?"
"Besides, you are also aware of Sun Kejian's abilities. He has absolutely no business acumen."
"So, don't think too much about it."
“Sometimes bad things can turn into good things.”
Wei Yunyi knew that such a lame excuse would not scare the other party, so he continued, "Alright, I trust Sun Kejian on this matter. He is the empress dowager's cousin and a royal relative. This is a trivial matter and there is no need to worry about it. Tell me if there is anything else."
After saying that, he leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes.
The purpose is to let the other party know that there is no room for negotiation on this matter.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Zhao Lingying looked helpless: "Yes, Your Majesty."
He immediately put down the memorial in his hand and picked up another one, continuing, "Xiaoguo... This is a memorial from Song Hongzhi, the commander of Liaozhen. He said he would soon arrive in Liaozhen and would soon take over the command of Liaozhen. He specially sent this memorial to pay his respects."
"Greetings?" Wei Yunyi smiled and couldn't help but say, "I know what kind of person the young prince is. There must be more to him than this."
"Your Majesty is wise." Zhao Lingying sighed and replied, "Song Hongzhi said that he has been traveling these past few days, traveling day and night. It's not that he didn't sleep well, but soldiers are used to it. It's just that he can't get used to the food outside the capital."
"So, I beg Your Majesty to find a few chefs for him from the major restaurants in the capital and send them to Liaozhen."
At this moment, Zhao Lingying was completely speechless.
The other party is not only the prince's uncle now.
He is still a general.
He couldn't even stand eating something that was a little worse, and had to send a chef from the capital.
A playboy is a playboy after all, and he can't bear any hardship.
I think the queen is such a kind and gentle person.
How come I have such a younger brother?
And what about Wei Yunyi?
Laughed again.
Just as he expected, his brother-in-law talked a lot of nonsense in front of him, but what happened in the end?
Isn't it the same?
You must know that before we officially use military force against Gaoyang State, we are already making this and that demands.
However, he could understand this. After being accustomed to the meals cooked by the Queen herself, it would be difficult for him to eat anything else. What could he do? Of course, he would satisfy her request.
He paused and said, "Let's grant your request, little uncle. You just want to eat better, don't you? I agree. However, the chefs in the restaurants in the capital are not good enough. I will select a few imperial chefs from the imperial kitchen and send them to Liaozhen."
Send the royal chef directly?
Zhao Lingying couldn't help but feel that the Queen's family was too favored.
After thinking about it for a while, I felt that His Majesty seemed to be treating the Zhao family well.
Look at your brother. He made such a big mistake, but he was only demoted one level and still allowed the other party to lead the troops.
Under such circumstances, she did not hesitate much and said respectfully, "Yes, Your Majesty!"
At this moment, Zhao Lingying suddenly thought of something and continued, "I heard my father say before that although Liaozhen has 50,000 troops stationed there, because the imperial court and Gaoyang Kingdom haven't fought a major war for many years, their overall strength is somewhat weak."
"Although Song Hongzhi has some capable lieutenants to assist him, I am still worried that something might go wrong."
Her worries were not unreasonable, after all, the opponent this time was Gaoyang Kingdom.
In case the war is lost.
The majesty of the Great Wei in front of other nations is about to vanish completely...
"No need to worry." Wei Yunyi said, "Behind Liaozhen is the entire Liaodong region, with nearly 200,000 troops. Gaoyang State dare not act rashly."
Of course, he said this because he remembered the original work.
The Li royal family of Gaoyang Kingdom did not want to start a war.
Even if they were given the chance.
I'm afraid they don't dare to take direct action. The reason they asked Wei to pay this time was just to make money from the war in the north.
"Yes, I am overthinking it."
Zhao Lingying nodded, thinking that His Majesty was right.
Because according to his father, this country has no backbone at all!
Do you really have the guts to go to war with Wei? Unless you are forced into a corner.
Song Hongzhi has the ability but he doesn't know how to command troops.
Plus, with only 50,000 troops at his disposal, it would be difficult to make Gao Yang feel threatened, right?
Wei Yunyi nodded with satisfaction.
He had high expectations for his brother-in-law.
Gaoyang State is too weak. If other generals were sent, they would definitely win.
But my brother-in-law is not cut out for this at all, and he might soon be helpless.
After all, leading an army is not enough just by reading military books, it requires practice!
So, my brother-in-law, please don't let me down.
Things that ruin your luck.
It all depends on you!
And just as Wei Yunyi was thinking about this.
Song Hongzhi, who had already entered the Liaodong area, now brought his personal guards and some deputy generals equipped by the Ministry of War. After traveling day and night, he finally arrived at Liaozhen on this day!
Liaozhen is located in the easternmost part of Liaodong. Because it has never experienced a major war in all dynasties, it cannot compare with Zhenbei Pass in terms of grandeur.
However, after the establishment of the Wei Dynasty, Liaozhen became a gateway, so it has been expanding over the years.
But it was also because of the trade relations between the imperial court and Gaoyang State, as well as the garrison in the city.
The combination of the two makes this place very prosperous.
now.
At the gate of Liaozhen City.
Song Hongzhi was wearing a unique white armor and holding a silver spear, looking very powerful.
Behind him were several deputy generals and personal guards responsible for security.
"General, shall we enter the city?"
At this time, a middle-aged deputy general rode up to his side and bowed.
But Song Hongzhi did not speak, but turned his gaze to the city in front of him.
He knows.
From today on, it’s time to prepare for the war against Gaoyang Kingdom!
And the name Song Hongzhi will be known to countless people in a unique way.
