   Chapter 1262 Sixty-one · No one is good

Entrusted by others, loyal people, since Su Yao agreed to Concubine Pang Gui, she has been thinking about this matter, and she made a special trip to ask Xiao Heng for advice: “I don’t think those five candidates are very suitable, not really. Talking about how the poor family is, after all, there is an old saying that every time you kill a dog with your righteousness, you are always a scholar. I just think that these five people are not very suitable for the Eleventh Princess’ temperament. ”

   In fact, it was time for Su Yao to change her tune. She married Xiao Heng, and she was naturally a generation shorter than the other. She had to call the fifth prince, sixth prince and seventh prince uncle, so the eleventh princess would naturally become an aunt.

   It’s just that when Su Yao mentioned it to Xiao Heng in private, the title still didn’t change.

   Xiao Heng thought about it carefully, he understood what Su Yao meant, and asked politely, “What do you mean, do you want to choose from these five people?”

   But even these five people have been selected by the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and they have always been clamoring to follow the ancestral system.

Su Yao simply picked out the words: “In recent days, I have learned about the precedents of many princesses getting married, and found that few princesses who follow the ancestral system have a good life. Moreover, those concubines are also very unethical. With the courtiers insisting on this matter, I am afraid that there are some interests colluding in it.”

   No wonder Concubine Pang Gui would entrust this matter to her.

   It turned out to be a hot potato.

   But even if it is a hot potato, Su Yao has to do it well. This is the first thing she will do after she becomes the concubine. If she can do it beautifully, it will be a good start.

Xiao Heng believes in Su Yao in everything. As soon as he hears Su Yao’s words, he knows that Su Yao has made up his mind, and he has no objection at all. It’s on your side, if you need any help from me, just tell me directly.”

   He has been very busy with things in the southeast recently, and Su invites him not to use these things to distract him.

  Speaking of this matter, she thought of Shen Hai and Xiao Yuan, and asked Xiao Heng, “Is there any movement over there recently?”

Xiao Heng shook his head: “It’s been calm recently, it’s so quiet that it’s a little unnerving, plus the Dongying envoys came to the capital, they were moving up and down the court, and now there is a rhetoric in the court — that is to talk to Dongying. peace talks.”

  Peace talks?

Su invites the corner of his mouth coldly: “It must be that the southeast side has spent a lot of money to prepare for the event, peace talks? Have those Eastern Ying people do less things that go back on their word? Not to mention these, their cruel bloodthirsty is also It is disgusting and frightening, and I have seen the cruelty of the Tatars and Oaras, but they are nothing compared to them.”

   At this time, under the guise of coming for peace talks, it was just to relieve the pressure temporarily, so as to help Shen Hai and the Southeast family gain some time to deal with it.

   They even dared to ask to marry the princess.

   They naturally don’t care about the princess. If they wait until they go to war, maybe the first thing they will do is to use the princess to sacrifice the flag to boost morale. She believes that these Dongying people can do it.

Xiao Heng and Su Yao also had the same idea: “My father Guangping Hou Shizi also said the same thing, they didn’t really want peace talks at all, in fact, the sage knew it in his heart, but now, most of the people in the court agree with the peace talks. , the reason is that the defense pressure in the north is also very high. The imperial court has just attacked Yunnan. In Yunnan, although we did not spend too much, it is not a small pressure. If it is not necessary, everyone will I don’t want to fight again.”

   This is also the reason why some courtiers agreed to let the princess and her relatives before. They all felt that it was really not suitable for wars recently, and it was time to recuperate.

   Xiao Heng sighed: “Especially the Ministry of Household, their attitude is the most firm.”

The   Wara people were eager to move, just waiting to come over and bite off a piece of Da Zhou’s meat fiercely. Under such a situation, the Ministry of Housing did not want another major war in the southeast.

  The ministers of the East Palace saw this, and they also did not agree that Xiao Heng was opposed to the courtiers.

   This matter makes Xiao Heng very irritable, and this is what he has been busy with recently.

  Su invites to think for a moment: “Actually, it is not necessarily necessary to fight.”

She tapped her finger on the table and whispered to Xiao Heng: “In the end, why did Shen Hai collude with the southeastern aristocrats, and the southeastern side tried so hard to help Shen Hai and the Dongying people? It’s just because they have to rely on them. smuggling to make money, and Shen Hai is the overlord of the sea. What if our court opened a shipping department?”

   It’s not without precedent anyway.

   Opened a shipping company, how big is the shipping market?

   At that time, the taxes of the imperial court can be collected.

Su Yao looked at Xiao Heng and said, “Sooner or later, they will break up with the Southeast. Those wealthy clans are even willing to collude with the rest for smuggling. Their appetite is too great, and now they can bribe high-ranking officials of the court, what about in the future? Maybe they will support one. As for the imperial court that supports their smuggling, it is not impossible, otherwise why would they collude with Xiao Yuan? According to me, it will be done sooner or later anyway, and it will be done in our hands.”

   If it is done, this is a greater achievement than the pacification of chaos.

   Xiao Heng also had this intention. He said to Su Yao, “I will discuss with Zhan Shi and them.”

  Su invites to nod.

   A few days later, Eunuch Hu came over and reported that he was going to start shooting with horses.

  Su invited to the other palace.

   Xiu Nv and these candidates for the concubine are selected, and they usually study here first, and then they will be sent to the palace when they are qualified.

  Su Yao saw the five candidates for consort at the racetrack of the other palace.

In all fairness, no matter whether the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Rites have benefits, the people they choose are still passable on the surface. Several candidates look good, at least they are not particularly scary, Su. Invite heard.

  Su invites to sit on the pavilion on the third floor and watch a few people race their horses.

   They are not very skilled in their movements. It is better to say that they are riding horses, because even in competitions, they all run, and the horse’s movements are slightly larger.

   Eunuch Hu obviously did not expect these people to pull their hips like this, and was a little sluggish for a while.

  Su Ye felt that the words that the Minister of Rites had boasted about being trained were even more unreliable.

   If their so-called training is such a result, it would be too much for the prince-in-law to take him for hunting.

   And Eleven Princess’s equestrian is very good.

   Seeing that Su Yao’s face was not very good-looking, Eunuch Hu felt a little drum in his heart, and forced a smile: “Actually, when it comes to horseback riding, practice makes perfect. It’s too cold now, and it may not be convenient for a few young masters.”
