Chapter 372: Decided to go to war
Qi's eyelids jumped slightly, and he said with a smile: "You even know that the Empress Dowager Ningguo's bedroom has a Qitianzhu, and I'm ashamed to say that I don't even know what Qitianzhu is." ”
Ling Wen chuckled: "I've just heard people talk about it, it's not anything special, it's just a little bigger than the average night pearl, I heard that it is placed in the house at night, and the lighting is not needed, I just want to take it to see and play, by the way, it is for Moguan, and it also adds some aura." ”
Qi Mo nodded slowly, and didn't ask any more, "Okay, if I find that Qitian Bead, I will reward you." ”
"Thank you, Your Highness." Ling Wen bowed his hand to the blessing and waited for Qi Mo to leave, and then went straight back to the house.
Qi Mo returned to the palace with the scroll and went to see Emperor Qinglong for a while, but he was told that Gong Chengyan was talking in the palace, and he could guess what Gong Chengyan was going to say, and he didn't urge, and waited patiently, because once Emperor Qinglong knew about Princess Haining, the easier it would be for him to agree to his request later.
He was happily eating tea in the side hall, but the main hall was solemn, Gong Chengyan knelt on the ground in a daze, he had already told Emperor Qinglong about the death of Princess Haining, but I don't know what the latter thought.
If there was no imperial physician present at that time, he would still be able to get around, but he was afraid that the imperial physician would tell Emperor Qinglong everything, then all he could do now was to wait for anger and punishment.
"How did Princess Haining die?" Emperor Qinglong asked Gong Chengyan with a gloomy face.
Gong Chengyan hurriedly replied: "She was to blame and wanted to murder the Ling family, but she didn't expect to drink her own poison by mistake, so she died." Your Majesty, the guilty minister knows.
The guilty minister is also responsible for this matter, and blames me for not letting Xiao'er take care of Princess Haining well. made her make such a scourge, but the emperor, the guilty minister was bold, and the fact that Princess Haining was poisoned and died couldn't be told to Ning Guo.
What a barbaric country Ning is, if they knew that the princess had died unexpectedly, they would definitely not stop. The sinner thought that it was a natural disaster to tell them that Princess Haining was terminally ill and died. They can't blame us even if they want to. ”
He carefully observed Emperor Qinglong's expression, trying to see something from the latter's face, but Emperor Qinglong was expressionless, and he couldn't tell whether it was anger or what. Gong Xiru was uneasy. I can only wait for the above to speak.
Fuquan said at this time: "Your Majesty, just now the eunuch sent a message that His Royal Highness was waiting outside to ask to see him. ”
Qi Mo said that he would look for himself today, and said that there was any magic weapon to win, Emperor Qinglong was still very hesitant, but now that Princess Haining is dead, even if he can tell the lord of Ning Guo that the former died of illness, what if Ning Guo wants to be corpsed? What should I do if I find out the truth? This will directly affect the integrity of Northern Qin among the countries.
"You step back first. Let the Four Highnesses in. ”
Gong Chengyan was shocked, is this the end? Or does this matter still need to be considered? He didn't dare to ask more. For fear that he would not be able to eat and walk around when he asked about the reverse scales, he said respectfully, got up and retreated, retreated to the outside of the hall, and sure enough, he saw Qi Mo waiting, so he brought the words of Emperor Qinglong to Qi Mo.
The smile on Qi Mo's face was undisguised: "Lord Gong's face doesn't look good, what's the matter, could it be that he was scolded by his father?" Then don't take it to heart, you don't know your father's temper, he is moody, and the palace lord must deal with it carefully. ”
Gong Chengyan's face was embarrassed for a while, and he smiled: "Thank you Your Highness for reminding me, the lower official has retired." ”
Qi Mo shook his head, turned around and entered the hall, and saw that Emperor Qinglong on the dragon chair had a bad face, so he knew that the latter must not be happy in his heart, so he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "The son has seen his father, and the son has brought something to his father, ensuring that after the father and the emperor see it, all the sorrow clouds will dissipate." ”
He presented the contents of the scroll that he had copied by hand in his free time just now, and said: "Erchen has collected the common combat techniques used by the three main generals of Ning Guo, not only that, but also the weaknesses of each of them, Erchen also knows it well, with these things, the right medicine, Erchen is confident that he can win Ning Guo." ”
Emperor Qinglong carefully looked at the content written in ink, although it was not much, but the essence of the words was very, "Where did you get this news?" He looked at Qi Mo Dao in surprise. I secretly thought in my heart, if this was true, then Ning Guo would definitely lose this time.
Of course, Qi Mo couldn't say that it was Ling Wen's news for himself, but said vaguely: "Erchen has been preparing for the attack on Ningguo for a long time, these are all news that Erchen collects on weekdays, they are very reliable, and my father doesn't have to worry about it." ”
Emperor Qinglong bowed his head and praised on the other hand: "You have indeed grown a lot, I am very pleased, originally I was worried that you are arrogant, since you have these things, then you ask for war, I agreed, tomorrow morning I will announce that I will send you troops." But you really don't have any experience, I will order General Yuan as the commander-in-chief, and you will be his deputy commander, do you have any opinions? ”
He was originally worried that Qi Mo would not be willing to deign to the position of deputy general because of his identity, but he heard the latter say: "My father's arrangement is that Erchen is willing to be the deputy marshal, General Yuan is brave and good at fighting, Erchen really admires and is willing to send him for him, not to mention that he is still the Lord Taishan of Erchen, and Erchen will not be located on the top of Taishan." ”
Emperor Qinglong nodded with satisfaction, he is now more and more satisfied with this son, and sure enough, as Qi Mo said, the depression just now was swept away.
On the second day, Emperor Qinglong announced in public the decision to send troops to Ningguo, appointing Yuan Kai as the commander and Qi Mo as the deputy marshal.
Gong Chengyan naturally linked this incident with the death of Princess Haining, and was even more panicked in his heart, Emperor Qinglong directly sent troops to attack Ning Guo, which means that he is no longer afraid of Ning Guo in the slightest, so what will he do with himself?
It is said that the unknown is the most fearful, this sentence is not false at all, he can't judge Emperor Qinglong's thoughts, and he is not as favored by the latter as before, and his heart is more and more panicked, so that when the ministers either oppose or agree, he doesn't say a word, and completely becomes a neglected existence.
Qi Hua couldn't help himself with this will, although he didn't know which tendon Qi Mo was wrong to be willing to lead troops to the battle, but this was undoubtedly beneficial to himself and harmless, not to mention whether Qi Mo could come back alive on the battlefield, that is, during the time he left, who among the princes in the palace could compare to himself.
He couldn't wait to applaud, and as a group of people who agreed, he took the lead in praising the bravery of the four princes, but in his heart he was thinking about how to let Qi Mo never return.
Qi Mo led the troops, Gong Xiru naturally would not lag behind, so he voluntarily asked to accompany him on the expedition, he was named the Marquis because of his military exploits, and those who knew him would not doubt the latter's ability.
As for Bai Lang, Wenchen was one, but he was not in a hurry to stand up at this time, of course he was not afraid of the cruelty on the battlefield, but he couldn't leave himself in this palace, as soon as Qi Mo left, only Qi Hua was left in the palace, but his role at this time was not something Qi Hua could imagine, don't look at it as just a Hanlin Academy, but he can see the emperor every day.
Ling Yi had just finished detoxifying the Gu poison, and her body had not yet recovered, so she had been lying on the bed resting listlessly all day, but when she heard that Gong Xiru was back, she still sat up and sat up.
Gong Xiru sat on the edge of the bed, quietly holding her hand, and after a long time, she whispered: "I want to go with the Fourth Highness to fight Ningguo." ”
Ling Yi's hand shook obviously, paused, and asked calmly, "But have you already planned a countermeasure?" "If not, Qi Mo would not be able to convince Emperor Qinglong to allow this matter.
Gong Xiru nodded slowly, knowing that she was worried, full of apologies: "I originally promised that after you married me, you would no longer be afraid, but - I still let you worry about making you frightened, I-"
"Don't talk about that." Ling Yi covered his mouth with a gentle smile: "The world is unpredictable, you are not a god, how can you guarantee that I will have no worries in my life, isn't husband and wife just supporting each other, with you by my side, supporting me, and encouraging me, I don't feel scared - this time I go out, but I have to come back." (To be continued.) )
PS: I saw this chapter, which means that the fingertips are already on the way home, and what you see during this time are the fingertips in the draft box, although the number of words is not sorry for everyone, but wait for the fingertips to come back, find a job, and then pull the word count up!
