Chapter 243: King Qi Invites Ying to Fight

Li Siyu couldn't help but be a little surprised when she heard the emperor say that he could delay the marriage for her, didn't the emperor want King Qi to get married sooner?

Li Siyu said: "I and King Qi are going to get married sooner or later, and besides, King Qi will be a good husband, so I don't need to delay the marriage." ”

She was really willing to marry him!

The emperor didn't speak for a while. Li Siyu said: "Does the emperor think that I am not suitable for King Qi?" ”

The emperor smiled awkwardly, "You guys are quite suitable." This sentence is somewhat contrary to intentions.

The emperor moved his mouth, but he didn't speak.

Li Siyu saw that the emperor wanted to say something and stopped, she said, "Does the emperor have anything to say?" ”

The emperor said: "It's nothing. ”

He did have a lot of things in his heart that he wanted to say, but he felt he couldn't say them. He already understood that her heart was no longer in him. Asking those meaningless words again will only hurt the feelings between two people.

Li Siyu didn't think much about it.

The emperor continued: "If your wedding date is set, remember to tell me as soon as possible." ”

Li Siyu nodded.

Soon their wedding date was set, set on the second day of the first month of March, and there are still more than two months to go.

March is the time of spring, and it should be good to get married at that time.

However, in February, the news of the tightening of the war barely came. The Northern Rock Kingdom invaded the borders of the Great Jin Dynasty, and the two countries went to war.

The leader of the Northern Rock Kingdom, LinkedIn, fought bravely and skillfully, and defeated the soldiers of the Great Jin Dynasty. Several cities had already been lost on the frontier, and the generals guarding the frontier sent an urgent letter of 800 li to the emperor to request support.

After the emperor learned about the tight war at the border pass, he immediately convened the courtiers to discuss how to deal with this matter.

The ministers were divided into two factions, one for peace and the other for war. The two factions expressed their own opinions and argued endlessly. In the end, the emperor made a final decision, saying that if the lord and the peace talks with them, it would damage the national prestige of the Great Jin Dynasty, and he advocated sending troops to reinforce the border soldiers to drive the invaders out of the country.

If you send troops, you naturally have to send an excellent general over, otherwise you will not be the opponent of the generals of the Northern Rock Country at all.

Although Nangong Hao is not very old, he is already a veteran of the battlefield, and the first thing the emperor thinks of is him. And he himself took the initiative to ask Ying to go to the frontier to lead the troops, and promised to drive the invaders out of the country, so that they would never dare to invade the Great Jin Dynasty at will.

The emperor felt that Nangong Hao was the most suitable to lead the troops, so as soon as he asked for help, he agreed.

Due to the urgency of the military situation, Nangong Hao quickly went to the frontier. Who would have thought that as soon as he left on the front foot, the palace on the back foot received an urgent report from another border guard.

The Yan State in the north of the Great Jin Dynasty also raised troops to invade them.

The two neighboring countries moved troops against them at the same time, which made the ministers of the court a little panicked. This Nangong general just went to the south, and the Yan Kingdom in the north began to move troops against them, and there are not many generals in the court who can lead the troops, so people can't find a suitable candidate at this time.

The emperor said: "If no one is willing to lead the troops into battle, I plan to go to war in person." ”

In fact, the reason why he said this was because no one in the DPRK and China was willing to fight.

I heard that the emperor wanted to drive the emperor to personally conquer all the ministers in the court were opposed, they said that the country should not be without a king for a day, the frontier was too dangerous, and the emperor was afraid of his life, so he resolutely did not agree with the emperor to lead the army.

At this time, the emperor was angry, and he said: "Ask which of you is willing to fight, and you will not be silent one by one." Well, you don't go to me, but why are you holding me back? ”

The ministers were questioned by the emperor like this, and they all knelt on the ground for a while, shouting that the emperor was angry.

King Qi thought about it carefully, hesitated again and again, and finally stood up, he said: "The emperor is the monarch of the country, the country cannot be without a monarch for a day, in my opinion, it is better for the emperor to stay in the palace and preside over the overall situation, and I will replace the emperor in the border place!" ”

King Qi still has a certain military talent, so as soon as he stood up, the courtiers echoed and said that King Qi was the most suitable candidate.

Maybe King Qi is not the most suitable person, but compared to the emperor, he is indeed very suitable.

When the emperor heard King Qi say this, he hesitated a little in his heart, and he said: "You are going to get married next month, and I am afraid that it is not appropriate to send you to the frontier at this time, and your wedding date will have to be delayed again." ”

King Qi said: "Only when there is a country can there be a home, and when the country is in danger, a manly man should stand up and serve the country." As for my marriage with Xiaoyu, I can only wait for my triumphant time to do it, I think Xiaoyu must be understandable. ”

The emperor looked at Jia Jungong and said to him, "What does Jia Aiqing think about this matter?" ”

Jia Jun said: "Back to the emperor, the little girl has always been knowledgeable, presumably she will definitely support King Qi's decision." ”

The emperor was still a little hesitant, if the king of Qi was asked to go to the frontier to lead the troops to fight, the queen mother was afraid that she would not agree.

The emperor said: "This matter has to be reconsidered." ”

King Qi frowned, now that the two neighboring countries are waging war against their country at the same time, the war is tight, if the reinforcements from the court can't reach the frontier in time, I don't know how many times they will sacrifice and how many cities will the soldiers be lost?

Therefore, this matter must not be delayed, and the emperor cannot be allowed to have too much time to think about it.

King Qi said: "What else is the emperor thinking about? "Speak up with your concerns and see if I can help you out.

The emperor said: "The queen mother is now old and in poor health, so she naturally wants you to be by her side." If you go to the frontier and fear leading the troops to fight, I am afraid that she will be worried and affect her physical recovery. ”

It turned out that they were worried about their queen mother!

King Qi said: "Don't worry about the queen mother, the emperor doesn't have to worry, I will find a way to convince my parents." ”

The emperor thought for a while, and then said: "This matter should be discussed with the queen mother first, if the queen mother agrees, then I will agree to you to go." ”

After the next dynasty, the king of Qi went to the queen mother and told the queen mother that he was going to lead his troops to the frontier to fight. The Queen Mother naturally disagreed.

Since ancient times, this war has been a very dangerous thing, how can she be willing to let her son take risks?

She said a little angrily: "Is it arranged by the emperor that you want to go to the border to fight?" ”

If that's the case, then the emperor is too much! He's his own brother! The younger brother of a mother's sibling!

King Qi said: "The emperor did not arrange for me to go to the frontier, the emperor originally planned to drive the expedition himself, but I stopped him!" ”

King Qi paused and continued: "The emperor is the king of a country, let him go to the frontier to command the army, and there will be no one in charge of the overall situation, which is obviously inappropriate. ”

The Queen Mother said angrily: "So you're going?" ”

King Qi said: "I know something about marching and fighting, and I think it is most appropriate for me to go." ”

The reason why he took the initiative to ask for Ying was actually a last resort, he couldn't let the emperor take this risk! (To be continued.) )
