With a shrill "The emperor has arrived", the originally noisy Zichen Hall instantly fell silent. The crown prince, who was walking over and thinking about talking to Dongfangdu, heard the eunuch's shout, and immediately turned around and walked back to his place.

Emperor Qianwen slowly walked into the Zichen Palace, sat down on the dragon chair, and the civil and military officials knelt down together and saluted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

"Zhong Aiqing, let's be flat" Emperor Qianwen glanced around, and finally his gaze fell on Dongfang Du, who was standing at the bottom of the Wenchen queue. Dongfang Du is a prince, even if she has no official or position, she should not stand at the bottom, and looking at the position she stands, the distance from Wenchen is two meters.

When the courtiers got up, Emperor Qianwen retracted his gaze and said to the ministers: "Zhong Aiqing has something important to play today?" "It's the opening sentence every morning. After Emperor Qianwen finished speaking, he looked at the Wenchen generals who were all bowing their heads and were silent, and couldn't help but shake his head, "Why don't you love noodles!" ’

The matter is divided into face-to-face and folding, and the matter is too urgent to write the fold can be played face-to-face, but the face-to-face performance means that all the courtiers know who said this matter, if it touches the interests of some powerful ministers, I am afraid that it will attract private revenge.

"Ahem" Emperor Qianwen cleared his throat and asked again: "Isn't there anything important to play in Zhong Aiqing?" After speaking, he looked at General Zhang Shaocheng in the military general column.

Zhang Shaocheng felt the emperor's gaze, looked up, and found that Emperor Qianwen really looked at him, saw him raise his head, and made a look, signaling him to play the battle in Jizhou City. As soon as this war is held, I am afraid that the court will be chaotic again, and the people who fight are all military generals, but those who like to talk about it are those civil servants who are powerless.

"Your Majesty, there will be something to do at the end." Zhang Shaocheng was listed. Military generals rarely speak in the main hall, and once they come out, there must be a war. When the civil and military officials saw the general coming out, their hearts were shocked, and their right eyes jumped, and it seemed that they were going to fight again. The military department and the household department secretary, who had long known about the Jizhou war, were frightened when they saw General Zhang coming out of the ranks, and their heads were even lowered.

"Oh, what's the matter with Zhang Aiqing?" Emperor Qianwen asked unhurriedly, obviously he already knew something, and pretended that I didn't know anything.

"Back to the emperor, a few days ago, the Western Xuanguo came to attack, attacked the border city of Jizhou, invaded the territory of my Dongqian Kingdom, and the last general was willing to ask for war to go to the Western Xuanguo." Zhang Shaocheng knelt on one knee in the center of the hall, waiting for Emperor Qianwen to speak.

The unwitting ministers instantly began to discuss, "Why are you going to fight again?" "The attack of the Western Xuanguo is so sudden! "Where suddenly! Wasn't it another day when I was recruiting again, I should have expected it a long time ago! "I don't know how many people are going to die again!" "I don't know when this war will stop! Wen Chen whispered to each other.

Although this is going to be a war, their ministers only need to help the emperor govern the country, and it is not their turn to go to the battlefield to die, and they are not as nervous and panicked as those generals in their hearts.

"That's right." Emperor Qianwen said coldly, he didn't show much anger at the invasion of the Western Xuan Kingdom, it seemed that as long as he sent an army out, it would be easy to solve it.

There is really no need to discuss this matter of expanding the territory in the court hall, and signaling Zhang Shaocheng to come out and play the war in front of the civil and military officials, just to have a reason to let Dongfang Du follow Zhang Shaocheng openly. And if you want to go out openly, it is best to ask for your own life.

Sure enough, as soon as General Zhang finished speaking, he saw Dongfang Du coming out of the ranks, and said loudly: "Father and Emperor, my son is willing to go to Jizhou with General Zhang to fight the enemy together." ”

Emperor Qianwen nodded with satisfaction, these two princes did not have the imaginary wooden flute, and they knew how to find the time to come out and ask for their lives. Although the matter of the expedition had been decided in the imperial study yesterday, the civil and military officials did not know about it.

"Okay, good, my emperor, I care about my family and country, it is my luck to have this emperor, since Du'er is asking for his life, I will be a deputy general and follow General Zhang's side." Emperor Qianwen said.

When the prince heard this, he didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly said: "Father, the son is also willing to go to Jizhou with General Zhang." "These two princes have all been ordered to go to the battlefield, how can he, the crown prince, show weakness.

Prime Minister Song Wen saw that his own grandson wanted to join in the excitement and go to the battlefield, so he hurriedly went out to dissuade him, "Your Majesty, the prince is the prince, and it is inconvenient to go to the battlefield." Saying that, he glanced at Dongfang Xi, and couldn't help but want to scold in his heart: "What are you impulsive at this time!" In case he dies on the battlefield, the second prince will not be cheaper in this world! The battlefield is ruthless, the sword has no eyes, his second prince and a stinky hairy boy want to go to the battlefield to die, what do you follow! ”

When Dongfang Xi heard it at this time, he thought of his identity as a prince, but the words had already been spoken, so he couldn't take it back, so he could only wait hard to see how his father answered. If his father agreed, he would have no choice but to follow him to the battlefield.

Emperor Qianwen glanced at Dongfang Xi, who was embarrassed, and said slowly: "Xi'er is the prince of the East Palace, so there is no need to go to Xixuan with General Zhang. After speaking, I saw Dongfang Xi sigh quietly.

"Father, although the son is the crown prince, but when he thinks of other countries coming to invade, he is filled with righteous indignation, and he can't wait to make a crusade against him......" Dongfang Xi thought that his father would not let him go on the expedition anyway, so he took the opportunity to express himself more verbally.

Emperor Qianwen also let him express himself, and when he finished speaking, he let him be listed, and when the matter of the expedition was decided, the palace was quiet again. Seeing that the civil and military officials had no intention of playing the matter, Emperor Qianwen turned his head to look at the eunuch on the side, signaling that he could retire from the court. The eunuch understood, stepped forward, and shouted loudly: "If you have nothing to do, you can retreat." ”

When the civil and military officials heard this, they all knelt down and saluted: "Congratulations to the emperor" An early dynasty passed quickly.

As soon as he dispersed, Dongfang Du walked out, and Dongfang Xi saw that Dongfang Du was gone, and hurriedly chased after him.

"Second Emperor Brother, why did you come to the early court today?" Dongfang Xi only thought of the strange place at this time, how could Dongfangdu, who should not have come to the court, come to the court today, and there is such a big event today, if it is a coincidence, it is really too much of a coincidence. Dongfang Xi smiled warmly, "Could it be that the second emperor's brother already knew about the battle in Jizhou City?" Why don't you know the royal brother? The imperial brother really wants to go to the battlefield with the second imperial brother. ”

"Brother Huang, you are the crown prince, this matter of defending the family and defending the country on the battlefield is handed over to the second emperor's brother." Dongfang Du replied with a smile and arched his hand, but secretly couldn't help but slander: "It's so famous that I can't help but think that you are a good royal brother......

Seeing what Dongfang Xi was going to say, Dongfang Du spoke first: "Brother Huang, Brother Huang still has important matters, so I won't accompany him, and when I have time in the future, I will talk to Brother Huang for a moment or two." He saluted and walked away quickly. She still has a lot of things to do, so she doesn't have time to chat here.

Dongfang Xi looked at Dongfang Du's back, smiled coldly, and said in a low voice: "I'm afraid that you won't have a chance to speak again in the future." ”
