Xiao Ziyu lowered his eyes and replied: "Back to my father's words, my son went back and thought about it, and had a new idea about sending troops to aid Chu State, so I came to report to my father!"

Xiao Yiheng raised his eyebrows: "Say!"

Xiao Ziyu said: "Erchen thinks that the opposition of the ministers is just that they think that aiding the Chu State will cost the people and money and will also lose the army, and there is no practical benefit to the Li State, but if it is to expand the territory, there is no reason for the ministers to oppose it!"

When Xiao Yiheng heard this, his eyes narrowed: "Open up the territory?"

Xiao Ziyu nodded and said: "Yes, now that Dongyou raises 800,000 troops to attack the Chu State, the country will inevitably have insufficient troops, if the Liguo State waves its troops to attack Dongyou at this time, Dongyou will inevitably be overwhelmed, so it can not only alleviate the crisis of the Chu State, but also open up the territory, which is of great benefit to my Dali, and those ministers in the DPRK and China have no reason to oppose it!"

Xiao Yiheng suddenly fell silent, turned his head, looked at the prosperous imperial capital in the distance, and fell into deep thought.

Xiao Ziyu knew that Xiao Yiheng was pondering, so he didn't bother quietly, but waited quietly.

At this moment, a dark shadow flashed, it was Meng Yi.

"Subordinate Meng Yi, see Your Majesty!

The father and son turned their heads to look at him in unison, Xiao Yiheng frowned, and said, "Flat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"What?"

Meng Yi immediately handed over the note in his hand and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I just received the flying pigeon transmission from Ruyang from His Royal Highness King Jin, and I am here to present it to Your Majesty!"

When Xiao Yiheng heard this, he immediately reached out and took the small bamboo tube handed over by Meng Yi, opened it, took out the note inside, and unfolded it at a glance, then his tightly locked brows stretched out, and he smiled meaninglessly.

Seeing Xiao Yiheng's rare smile, Xiao Ziyu was puzzled for a while, and asked, "Father, what news did the emperor's uncle send back?"

Handing the note in his hand to Xiao Ziyu, Xiao Yiheng said: "Look at it yourself!"

Xiao Ziyu took it suspiciously, and when he saw the few words on the paper, a trace of surprise crossed his eyes.

"Uncle Huang actually thinks the same as his son?"

Xiao Yiheng nodded, he couldn't help but be a little speechless about his tendoned brain during this time, this period of time was bent on helping Rong Zhi and Chu Guo survive this catastrophe, and he couldn't get out of it with the tip of the horns, and he didn't think about it in this regard, such a simple truth, he didn't expect that Xiao Ziyu and Xiao Yike would remind him one after another.

As long as the reason for sending troops is to attack Dongyou and expand the territory, then it will be a matter of course, and the only reason for those courtiers to oppose it suddenly no longer exists!

Xiao Ziyu hurriedly asked: "Since the emperor's uncle also thinks that this method is feasible, what does the emperor want?"

Xiao Yiheng didn't answer him, but turned his head and instructed Meng Yi: "Meng Yi, you go and summon the ministers into the palace, just say that I have something to discuss with them!"

"My subordinates will do it!"

Meng Yi received the order, and then dodged away.

Subsequently, the father and son went down to Tonghuatai together, walked to the Qianyuan Palace, and discussed the map for a long time in the imperial study, and then the chamberlain came to report that the ministers had arrived and were waiting for the holy drive in the Yizheng Palace, and Xiao Yiheng took Xiao Ziyu to the Yizheng Palace.

Sure enough, when Xiao Yiheng announced the decision to attack Dongyou to expand the territory, although the ministers still disagreed, there was no way, so the ministers had no objections, and two hours later, the secret edict of waving troops south to attack Dongyou was sent out of the capital and sent to Ruyang Pass.

After dismissing the ministers, he reviewed some folds in the imperial study, and when it was almost dark, the chamberlain came to report that the queen had prepared dinner and was waiting for him to go back to eat, Xiao Yiheng went out of the Qianyuan Palace, went to the harem, and went to the Palace of Eternal Life.

The palace that Xiao Zhenglin once built for Jing Fei, and the person who lives there now is the queen of Xiao Yiheng, the current emperor of Beili, Mo Yan.

Five years ago, a month after Xiao Yiheng ascended the throne, after the edict was issued, and this queen was not the daughter of the Liguo family, but just a maid, who was the confidant of the eldest princess of Weiyuan。

In the past few years, because Mo Yan has never had children, there is only one prince and one princess in the palace, and the ministers have played to let Xiao Yiheng recruit concubines to open up branches and leaves for the royal family, but Xiao Yiheng has refused and has not backed down at all, which makes the courtiers who plan to send their daughters into the palace dissatisfied, so they are more and more displeased with Xiao Yiheng, the emperor, so sometimes Xiao Yiheng wants to do something they can block, and they will spare no effort.

And Xiao Yiheng seems to be very conniving at this, never reprimanding these people, but has some accommodating meaning, just like this time, he obviously can solve the matter with an edict, but he has been delayed in making a decision because of the opposition of these people, and he did not make a decision until today when he thought of a way to block these objections.

Others may not understand, but as a pillow person, Mo Yan is clear about the reason for Xiao Yiheng's forbearance and retreat.

Before he arrived at the Hall of Eternal Life, he saw a blue figure standing at the door of the hall waiting for him from a distance, Xiao Yiheng's eyes suddenly softened, and his pace was unconsciously faster.

Five years have passed, Mo Yan's appearance does not seem to have changed much, but it is a little more tender than back then, wearing a blue palace dress, embroidered with simple phoenix tail patterns and some patterns, his hair is simply coiled into a bun, and a simple pearl and emerald gold hairpin is pinned to it, which looks noble and elegant but also graceful and tender.

As soon as Xiao Yiheng arrived, the surrounding palace people and eunuchs behind Mo Yan saluted one after another: "See Your Majesty!"

Only Mo Yan still stood there still, but with a soft smile on his face, looking at Xiao Yiheng's eyes, it was difficult to describe tenderness.

Xiao Yiheng didn't care either, and the people around him seemed to be used to it.

Xiao Yiheng said lightly, then looked at Mo Yan with a soft face, and said in a somewhat reproachful tone: "Now that the weather is getting colder, why don't you wait inside to come out?"

In the tone of questioning, it is difficult to hide the concern.

Mo Yan smiled helplessly: "How can it be so weak, besides, it's only less than October, and the colder ones can stand it, this is nothing, don't worry!"

She has martial arts skills, but she has never been abandoned because she wants to teach Ling'er martial arts, she is sick or something, she has almost nothing over the years, but she was poisoned once a few years ago, although she was detoxified, but she hurt her body, which made Xiao Yiheng afraid and always worried about her.

Xiao Yiheng was about to say something with a calm face, Mo Yan hurriedly took his hand and said, "Okay, okay, I'll pay attention next time, the food inside is going to be cold, hurry up and go in to eat!"

Xiao Yiheng had no choice but to give up and walk into the Hall of Eternal Life with her.

Because Xiao Yiheng doesn't like extravagance and advocates frugality, he has changed the emperor's dietary regulations, and because he lives in the Palace of Eternal Life, most of them eat with Mo Yan, and the couple just instructed the people below to prepare some home-cooked dishes, very simple dishes.

While eating, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the temple gate.
