Chapter 81: Still Young

However, there are still many doubts in this matter, Lu Changfeng thought for a while, twisted his eyebrows and said: "Concubine Su has been very favored over the years, and even with the Third Highness, she has won the blue eyes of the emperor's uncle. It is understandable that she wants to do some activities outside the palace and accumulate power for the Third Highness. But the Lin family is just an imperial businessman, what can they do for the Third Highness?"

Lu Moyan pursed his lips and said slowly: "This Lin family is not an ordinary imperial businessman, not to mention that the Lin family has been operating in Kyoto for many years and has dealings with many families, just say that the gunpowder trade in the hands of the Lin family is enough to make people red." Su Guifei used this little favor to exchange for a steady stream of gold mines, this transaction is very cost-effective!"

This analysis is reasonable and well-founded, but Lu Changfeng's heart is still uneasy.

He always felt that things were not so simple, not to mention that behind the Lin family's artillery workshop was also involved in the smuggling of black fires and the betrayal of the country.

If this matter is easily revealed, but there is no actual evidence, then the Su clan will fight back, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

Thinking of this, his eyes sank, and he said: "What you said has some truth, but there is no clear evidence in this matter at present. Ah Yan, you must not be in a hurry. ”

Lu Moyan smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, I know it." I asked you to come here today just to let you check again, and there is any useful news behind this. Before Su Guifei took the initiative to light this fire, I wouldn't have stirred up trouble myself. ”

......

I don't know if it's providence or coincidence.

Seven days later, a war report came from the border pass, and Bei Xuanguo provoked a war on the grounds that there were deserters entering the country, and raised 200,000 troops to attack.

Originally, this Beixuan was just a small country on the side, and it was not uncommon for him to occasionally provoke him.

But what I didn't expect was that this time, the Beixuan soldiers were like divine help, and in just half a month's effort, they actually broke the three states of Yong, Ding, and Jia, and seriously injured the border master general Rong Wang Lu Muchao.

When the news was transmitted back to Shangjing, Princess Rong fainted immediately, and the emperor was even more angry that he scolded all the officials of the military department directly in the court.

However, no matter how anxious the emperor was, the war did not improve because of his mood.

Seeing that the war was getting tighter and tighter, the spies at the border finally passed back the reason why Bei Xuan was invincible in recent days.

On the Jinluan Palace, the emperor had a black face, threw the battle report that had just been sent back in front of the civil and military officials, and said sharply: "What a great joke in the world! I have 400,000 troops and horses, but I was defeated at the hands of a young girl who is twenty-eight years old! All the secretaries are men with a seven-foot body, can no one win against that Shangguan Yuqing?"

When the emperor said this, all the officials present lowered their heads.

At the same time that the news of the border war was transmitted to the palace, most of the officials in the DPRK and China also got the news.

It turns out that in the past few days, the reason why Bei Xuan Guo has been so invincible is because Shangguan Yuqing, the daughter of the prime minister of Bei Xuan, returned from a study tour and used what she has learned for many years to create an unprecedented weapon for Bei Xuan.

This kind of weapon is similar to a thunderbolt, but its lethality and range are much farther than that of a thunderbolt, and a single shot can blow up a battalion.

Under the threat of such heavy weapons, where else would anyone dare to rashly go to the front line to die?

Seeing that no one from the Manchu Dynasty was fighting, the emperor was furious, swept all the folds on the imperial case in front of him to the ground, flicked his sleeves and scolded loudly: "Waste! All of them are waste! One or two, they all called a little girl to be beaten down, wouldn't it make people laugh at me that there is no one in the Heavenly Dynasty!"

The emperor's irritable voice finally made those generals who were usually a little bloody unable to hold back their temperament.

Just as he was about to send out another round of anger, two voices, one in front and one behind, rang out in the Jinluan Palace.

"Your Majesty, please fight!"

The ones who spoke were Lu Changfeng, who was standing in the front row, and an unknown military general who was standing in the last row.

The emperor frowned, was silent for a long time, and shook his head, "The matter of going to the battlefield is not child's play, King Rongjun, you are still young, don't get involved in this matter at will." ”

Lu Changfeng is already in his twenties this year, and this age is still called "still young", which can't help but make people feel a little ridiculous.

"Your Majesty, Changfeng has passed the age of the weak crown, how can I talk about being young? Not to mention that this time my father was injured at the border pass, how can I, as a parent and son, sit idly by? I also ask Your Majesty for permission, Xu Chen will go to the border pass to frustrate the north's sharpness!"

"Confused!"

For some reason, the emperor suddenly became more irritable.

He slapped the table heavily and said angrily: "Since you know that your father is already at the border, have you ever thought about how worried your mother and concubine would be if she knew that you were going to go to war? As a son of man, if you don't honor your parents first, how can you talk about serving the country?"

In fact, the emperor's reason is far-fetched no matter how you hear it.

Lu Changfeng knew his mother concubine, and he knew very well that if Princess Rong knew that she was going to the battlefield, not only would she not object, but she might also be ready to go together.

But seeing the emperor's iron-faced and selfless appearance, he knew that he was afraid that he couldn't tell it in this Jinluan Palace today, and after hesitating for a while, he had to retreat unwillingly.

Dispelling the idea of going to battle, the emperor immediately summoned the general who was standing at the bottom.

The military general was born quite burly, and at first glance, he was a fierce general who could be ten with one.

The emperor's heart was slightly wider, and he asked about this person's name and official position left and right, and looked at the black-faced commander under him and asked, "Is Liao Qing sure to win this battle?"

Liao Zhiwu, the black-faced commander, kowtowed and said loudly: "Although the minister does not dare to say that he uses soldiers like gods, he has also studied the situation of the Beixuan battle in the past few days. Now that Beixuan's magic weapon has been exhausted, the minister is confident that he will defeat the enemy!"

"Okay!" the emperor looked happy and said in a loud voice, "Spread my will, Liao Zhiwu, the commander of the Yunlu Army, will be the commander of the auxiliary country, lead 100,000 troops, and immediately reinforce the border pass!"

......

As soon as he looked at him, Lu Changfeng felt that the eyes of the people around him were a little strange.

Originally, he didn't pay much attention to these strange eyes, but when he talked a few more, the civil official, who was louder than the long-tongued woman in the market, actually said that the voice of the discussion was a little louder.

Those voices that spoke coincidentally drifted to the ears of Lu Wangye, who was passing by.

"He knows what to fight, but he is just a second ancestor who relies on his mother, if he doesn't have his mother who has the means, what does he think he is?

"Heh, it's pitiful King Rong, desperately defending his family and the country, but he doesn't know that his backyard has already caught fire!"

The ones who spoke were the two officials of the Imperial Historical Tower.
