"Go back to the !! of Western Xinjiang"

"Yes, go back to the Western Frontier!!"

"The prince is right, go back to your western frontier!!"

Gu Feng withdrew from the council hall in a hurry under the verbal criticism of the ministers and generals in the Northern Regions.

In the second half of the night, the Western Xinjiang mission packed up overnight, and before dawn, they resigned and fled from Beijing.

Inside the Council Chamber

Gu Feng's departure will not bring any substantial benefits to the war. On the contrary, everyone in the council hall knew in their hearts that his departure would mean that the war between the two countries in the Northern Regions and the Western Frontier would not be possible in a short period of time.

At present, there are not many strategies left for the northern region to deal with the invasion of the western frontier. Only by doing our best to defeat and fear the enemy who will attack the enemy until the enemy can no longer bear the losses of the war, and then negotiate peace, the war can be stopped. If not, there is only one way to get along.

This is the result that no one here wants to see.

"Report and report! Jinzhou 800 miles urgent!"

The crowd was still discussing how to deploy the border city defenses in order to fight a protracted battle with the western frontier.

Outside the door, the cry of the herald sounded.

"Come on in. Su Jingnian said.

"No. "The chamberlain beside him said.

The herald ran into the hall and presented the paperwork. It was received by the waiter and handed it to the stairs.

Su Jingnian took the paperwork and quickly opened it.

After reading it, she slapped the paperwork on the case.

The ministers in the hall looked suspicious, and they were all speculating about what happened in Jinzhou, so that the prince was angry like this.

"Lord Wang, what's the news from Jinzhou?"

At this time, only the old prime minister Wang Lan dared to ask Su Jingnian directly.

Su Jingnian took the document to the chamberlain and asked him to pass it on.

So the eight-hundred-mile urgent document was circulated one by one by the ministers starting from Wang Lan.

The document is Jiu'er's own handwriting.

The lord of the nine counties reported all the offensive and defensive battles in Jinzhou two days ago. And it is emphasized that the enemy army uses paper cranes as a medium to spread rumors and disturb the morale of the army. And after this incident, there has been a change in the army. Jinzhou is troubled internally and externally, and it is dangerous and abnormal. Su Jingnian was asked to deploy as soon as possible to prevent the situation from getting completely out of control.

When the ministers were circulating the documents, Su Jingnian got up from his seat.

Standing with her hands in her hands, her thoughts were flying.

"Alas, this is really a roof leak that happened to rain overnight, and the ship was late and encountered a head wind. ”

A minister sighed after reading the paperwork.

"How could the strategists of the Kingdom of Jin be so powerful that they could think of such an unheard-of scheme?"

A general read the paperwork and asked.

"O Southern Emperor, Southern Emperor. When it's time for you to help, you watch the fire from the other side, and watch from the sidelines. The injustice committed by the Western Xinjiang and Dajin, and the injustice caused by the attack in the Northern Regions, you ignore and ignore it. When you shouldn't be helping, you send two untruthful and useless paperwork in a row. Not only did it not have the slightest positive effect, but it was the front foot that added fuel to the fire, forcing Western Xinjiang to pretend to negotiate peace. In this way, the Northern Regions rejected the conditions of peace negotiations in Western Xinjiang, but helped it clear its reputation of undeclared war and fighting in the same room. As soon as Gu Feng goes, the Western Frontier will definitely go to war with our northern region with all its might, and the fan fire will be transmitted on the back foot, which will inspire the Jin people to come up with such a devastating and tricky plan to defeat the morale of our army. O Southern Emperor, Southern Emperor. As the king of a country, how can he be so mediocre, weak and incompetent?!"

Su Jingnian was really angry. The dissatisfaction with Nanhuang has been squeezed in her heart for a long time, and she is really unhappy.

"What does the prince mean, both Xijiang and Dajin were inspired by the Southern Emperor?" Jiang Zonglun asked.

"When it is. Calculating the time, the timing of the Western Xinjiang and the Jin State to exert their respective means and the timing of the Southern Privy Envoy to issue the documents are almost the same. If it weren't for the inspiration of the Southern Emperor, I'm afraid the enemy would have used these methods a long time ago. The king of Western Xinjiang would not have been scolded by the people of the world for so long before he sent envoys to negotiate peace. Dajin would not wait for the county lord's reinforcements to arrive before he thought of the trick of spreading the edict of the Jin Emperor. Wang Lan pinched his fingers and said.

"Alas!" Chen Hu hated that iron could not become steel, and said angrily: "Where in the world is there such an emperor? The vassal state of the sect is attacked on both sides, not only does he not send troops to support, but he also wants to 'do bad things with good intentions' and increase the prestige of others?

"'Kindness', Nanhuang should be there. It's just that it's hard to say whether the 'hearts' of the people around him are good or bad. Also, it is difficult to say whether these two documents are the emperor's idea or not. ”

"What does the prime minister mean?" Su Jingnian was puzzled.

"Don't forget that the Li family and the branch family in the south are happy to enjoy the turmoil in Kyushu. These two forces are now suppressed by the prince's line, and they are worried that they are powerless to turn over, and they have nowhere to show it. ”

Su Jingnian thought of Princess Yongning and the great eunuch Gao Yinglai, especially the various tricks and poisonous tricks that Yongning had used one after another.

said: "This king actually forgot that there are two masters of the Li family and the branch family by the side of the Southern Emperor. In this way, the two family heads are probably 'indispensable' to this trick of the Southern Emperor. ”

Wang Lan nodded.

At this time, Jinzhou's 800-mile urgent document was circulated to the counselor.

Persisting in the paperwork, the doctor sighed: "Jinzhou has open guns and hidden arrows, and the war is urgent. In this council hall, although there is no shadow of the sword, what is hidden behind Gu Feng is the 500,000 army of the Western Frontier. My northern region is really under the enemy's back, and I am ambushed for ten miles. As the prince said, if he leaves, it is justified to start another war in the western frontier. It's going to be a battle with me in the Northern Regions. If you don't fight to the death, how can you give up?"

"Lord Wang, the tiger please fight Jinzhou!" Chen Hu knelt down and asked for battle.

After reading the documents, he knew that the situation in Jinzhou was extremely bad. After listening to the doctor's analysis, Chen Hu felt that what he said was very reasonable. It seems that the future situation of the border city is also worrying.

So Chen Hu asked to go to war and went to Jinzhou, which was in the most vicious situation.

Behind Chen Hu, a group of generals and ministers knelt down. Everyone said that they would like to fight Jinzhou.

Su Jingnian walked down the steps and helped Chen Hu and the others up.

Shaking Chen Hu's hand, Su Jingnian said: "This king originally wanted the general to stay, accompany this king to guard the capital together, and command the overall situation. But the evolution of events is indeed unexpected. Jinzhou now has Jiu'er and General Feng in charge, and it should be safe in the short term. Later, the king will personally lead the troops to conquer Jinzhou. The general went to the border city on behalf of the king and guarded the western border. Okay?"

Chen Hu said excitedly: "Lord Wang! The county lord came to write very clearly, at this moment, 'Jinzhou is worried about internal and external troubles, and the danger is abnormal'! How can the prince's daughter's body be in danger alone and get involved in danger?

"The more dangerous the place, the more the king of the Northern Regions should go. This king is the lord of the Northern Regions, if even this king retreats, how can the Northern Regions fight? Besides, Bai Ting is strong in research and development, and she is still young in commanding her after all. The border city is the place where generals are most needed. General Chen, can you defend the border city for this king and Jiu'er?"

Chen Hu choked.

Shao leaned, and replied with tears in his eyes: "Chen Hu, you must not dishonor the king's order! As long as Chen Hu still has a breath, he will never let the people of Western Xinjiang land in the border city!"

All the generals and ministers said in unison: "The ministers will not dishonor the king's order and swear to protect the border city!"

Su Jingnian nodded heavily to everyone, and she patted Chen Hu's arm.

The day's deliberations did not end until dawn.

Su Jingnian was tired and tired, leaning back in the chair and closing his eyes to recuperate.

Slowly, everyone dispersed, only Wang Lan did not leave.

After a while, Su Jingnian barely came to his senses. She can't sleep, she has to go to the army to lead the arrangements for various pro-conscription matters.

When he opened his eyes, Su Jingnian saw that the old prime minister had not left.

"Prime Minister?"

"Lord Wang. Things have developed to the point where they are today, and it is a curtain that no one else wants to see. However, if this is the case, it is even more necessary to take precautions and prevent troubles before they occur. ”

"What the prime minister said is extremely true. Su Jingnian didn't think much about it and replied.

"The old minister has a request, and I beg the prince to grant it. ”

"What's the matter? ”

"The old minister implored the prince to take the princess and the old minister with him when he went to Jinzhou in person. ”

Thinking of Jinzhou's eight-hundred-mile urgent paperwork, as well as Wang Lan's attitude towards Mo Ruoli earlier, Su Jingnian's heart couldn't help but be cold.

Secretly lining Wang Lan's intentions, Su Jingnian said: "Prime Minister, why is there such a request? This king personally conquered Jinzhou, and if the prime minister wants to follow, this king will agree." With the prime minister's plan from the side, Jinzhou's city defense is even more stable. But why did the princess go to Jinzhou with the king? There was a shortage of soldiers and horses, and the war was raging. She deserves to stay in the palace, and she should be safe and secure. Why does the prime minister want the princess to be in that dangerous situation?"

Wang Lan stared at Su Jingnian, and saw that Su Jingnian broke out in a cold sweat.

The old prime minister smiled and said, "The reason why the old minister has such a request is, of course, to protect the princess. ”

What does the prime minister mean by this? The princess has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and has never interfered in government affairs and military affairs, and has nothing to do with the current war between the Northern Regions and the Jin Kingdom. Why do you always want to associate her with the war? What kind of intention is this? The prime minister said that he wanted the princess to go to Jinzhou with the king in order to protect the princess. This king can tell the prime minister, and the prime minister's words, this king will not believe a word!"

Su Jingnian stood up, his tone was not good.

She was so protective of Mo Ruoli, which made Wang Lan disappointed.

The old prime minister sighed: "The prince has really grown up, and the old man's tricks are already like carving insects in front of the prince." Yes, the reason why the old man asked the prince to take the princess to Jinzhou together. It is to abandon the car at the necessary moment to protect the handsome. Abandon the princess and consolidate the overall situation. ”

"Prime Minister, you?!" Su Jingnian angrily slapped the case.

Facing Su Jingnian's anger, Wang Lan said calmly: "Until now, has the prince thought about it?" Even if the princess really has the heart to protect the princess, but what about the princess? Does she still have the confidence and courage, and is she willing to stay by the prince's side? The northern region is in turmoil at the moment, and it is like a tired egg. If the prince forcibly keeps the princess, will it really be a good thing for the princess?"

“。。。。。。 ”

"Besides, don't say that the princess is just a woman. The old decay will not delve into her identity, whether she is away or not, she is just the princess of the Northern Regions. As a citizen of my Northern Regions, in the face of the overall situation of the Northern Regions, anyone must be ready to devote their all their efforts anytime, anywhere. Of course, the same is true of the old decay, the same is true of General Feng, and the same is true of General Chen. The same is true of the thousands of soldiers and people in the Northern Regions. ”

“。。。。。。 ”

In the end, Wang Lan shook his throat and said, "The Lord of the Nine Counties, it should be the same. ”

At this point, Su Jingnian had nothing to say and sat down.

Su Jingnian couldn't remember what Wang Lan said afterwards.

Long after Wang Lan left, she summoned Seventeen into the house.
