"Your Majesty, the two countries are at war, lives are ruined, and it is not beneficial to the people's livelihood, please think twice." Prime Minister Wang knelt on the ground and built a way.

"Prime Minister Wang Cheng's words are wrong, the Liao State is eyeing the tiger, and every year it harasses my Great Song Dynasty border, which makes my Great Song people panic and uneasy, if you blindly connive at the Liao State so rampant, I am afraid that in another ten or twenty years, when the Liao State is full-fledged, I am afraid that it will go south!" General Jiang said dissatisfiedly.

Wang Cheng was quite dissatisfied, and immediately retorted: "General Jiang's words, is it for me to send troops to meet the Great Song Dynasty again?" But the old general can know that the people have long been dissatisfied with the war for many years, and if it continues like this, I am afraid that the government will be unstable! ”

"If you are so cowardly and inactive, I am afraid that you will lose the hearts of the people even more!" General Chiang also refused to back down.

Seeing the two ministers arguing, the emperor had a headache and helped his forehead.

Liao is a thorn in his heart, every time he touches it, it hurts and is uneasy.

"King Chung, what do you think?" The emperor glanced at King Zhong, who had been silent, and asked.

"Back to the emperor, my brother thinks that everything must be done according to his ability." King Zhong's eyes were firm, and he replied seriously.

"Huh? Let's hear it. The emperor suddenly became interested and sat up straight.

"At this time, the Liao State is about to move, if it is directly recruited to recruit An and relatives, I am afraid that it will further fuel the arrogance of the Liao State, thinking that my Great Song Dynasty is not inferior to the Liao State. It's better for us to send troops to meet the battle first, if we can defeat the Liao State in one fell swoop, and then recruit An to make the Liao State a vassal, the Liao State will definitely surrender sincerely. If our Great Song Dynasty is defeated by the enemy army and is defeated, I can only pay a lot of money to negotiate peace. King Chung said slowly.

King Chung's words are very reasonable.

If you don't fight, it's really unwilling.

If it's hit. The uncertainty of victory or defeat is even more troubling.

So, let's hit first. After fighting, look at the situation, if you can win the battle is the best, if you can't win, it can only be like this, take a lot of money to discuss and make this decision.

As soon as King Zhong's words came out, Prime Minister Wang Cheng and General Jiang were silent.

The emperor pondered for a long time before he said, "So." Who did King Chung think was the most appropriate person to send to meet him? ”

"Back to the emperor, my brother is willing to lead the troops." King Zhong clasped his fists and arched his hands. Cry out.

"However, your old wounds have not healed, and it is not suitable to lead your troops into battle." The emperor was a little hesitant.

He is loyal to such a younger brother as the king, and he can't bear it.

There are no eyes on the battlefield. If there is really a three-long and two-short. How should he explain to the Queen Mother?

"The royal brother cherishes his younger brother, and the younger brother understands, but when the national disaster is at hand, how can the younger brother be a rich idler? And the younger brother has fought with Yelu Junhao many times, and he has a little understanding of his method of leading the troops, and throughout the court, the younger brother is the most suitable candidate. King Chung insisted.

The emperor's face became even more gloomy.

King Chung is telling the truth.

There is no one who knows Yelu Junhao's routines of marching and fighting better than King Chung, and King Chung has a reputation outside. He is also a well-known general in Liao, and he is indeed the most suitable candidate. Not one of them.

"Well, I'll leave it to you." The emperor nodded in agreement, his voice a little low.

"Emperor Xie, in three days, the younger brother will set off." King Chung gave his hand to thanks.

"Then if you are free in the past two days, go to accompany the queen mother more, the queen mother has been in poor health recently." The emperor said, with a little unbearable in his eyes.

Going to the battlefield may be a parting of life and death.

This battle is different from usual, and if you are not careful, you may be able to return the horse leather shroud.

If there really is a day, let alone the queen mother, even the emperor himself does not dare to guarantee whether he can accept it.

"Yes, my brother obeys." King Chung agreed.

About the war, this is the end, after King Zhong came out of the Chaoyang Palace, he went to Lening Palace again, in the evening, he planned to accompany the Queen Mother to dinner, by the way to see how Ru Xuan was.

During the day, Ru Xuan almost shouted hoarsely, and her emotions almost collapsed.

He was a little worried about Ru Xuan's condition.

Lening Palace.

Knowing that King Zhong was going to come here to accompany the Queen Mother to dinner at night, the Queen Mother instructed the small kitchen to cook a few more dishes that King Zhong liked, and had already instructed Mama Yan to warm King Zhong's favorite Lansheng wine.

Looking at the table of delicacies, King Zhong smiled and said to the Queen Mother: "The Queen Mother has worked hard. ”

These words are obviously flattery, the Queen Mother is just moving her mouth, and the rest of the work is naturally prepared by the cooks in the small kitchen, how can there be such a thing as hard work.

However, when these words came out of the mouth of King Zhong, they were sincere and heartfelt.

The Queen Mother was very helpful to this remark, and even suddenly laughed into a golden chrysanthemum, and said: "As a mother, she naturally has to work hard for her son." Come and try it, these are your favorite dishes. ”

As she spoke, the Queen Mother instructed the little palace maid next to her to arrange vegetables for King Zhong.

King Zhong's heart warmed.

King Zhong's biological mother is Concubine Hui, not the Queen Mother.

But Concubine Hui used to be the queen mother's maid, and after the two were emotional, Concubine Hui died early after giving birth to King Zhong, and the queen mother took King Zhong to her palace to raise her, treating her as her own and having deep feelings.

This is why the relationship between the loyal king and the emperor is much better than that of other brothers, and it is much more true.

On the table, there are bad goose, glutinous rice chicken, crispy tofu, sour bamboo shoots and chicken skin soup, etc., a total of more than a dozen dishes, all of which are indeed what King Zhong likes to eat.

And the wine glass full of wine in front of him exudes a strong aroma of wine, and just smelling it, I salivate.

After a few bites of food, I drank the wine from my glass.

The wine has a sweet and mellow taste, and has a long aftertaste, and it is Lansheng wine.

King Chung was stunned for a moment.

He remembered that when he first met Ru Xuan, Ru Xuan had made a grilled fish with him in Huiming Lake, and that time, Ru Xuan used Lansheng wine to make rouge, which tasted extremely beautiful.

Thinking of Ru Xuan, King Zhong's heart was a little blocked.

The delicacies in the mouth suddenly lost their taste, and the taste was like chewing wax.

"What, but the food isn't to taste?" The Queen Mother saw that King Zhong stopped halfway through eating, and asked uneasily.

A few days ago, there were a few new cooks in the kitchen, although it was the same dish, but the taste was not the same for different people, and the queen mother thought that King Zhong was not used to eating.

King Zhong came back to his senses and said with a smile: "The taste of this dish is extremely beautiful, but Erchen thinks it is so delicious that he almost swallowed his tongue!" ”

A joke caused the Queen Mother to laugh and said: "If it's delicious, you can eat more, life on the front line is hard, if you want to eat these, I'm afraid it's difficult." ”

For a while, the Queen Mother's expression was quite lonely.

Before King Zhong had dinner, he mentioned to the Queen Mother that he would go to the front three days later.

The Queen Mother didn't say she disagreed, but her face was not very good-looking.

The front line, what kind of place is that, a place to die!

King Zhong, who has been accustomed to fine clothes and jade food since childhood, has endured all the hardships when he leads his troops to fight, and if there is another accident, she is afraid that she will not be able to pass.

"Don't worry, the queen mother, Liao is just a small country, the army is weak, and the sons will definitely be able to break the enemy army if they go this time." King Zhong said with a smile: "At that time, the queen mother must celebrate the success of her son." ”

"Good, good." Only then did a trace of joy float across the Queen Mother's face. (To be continued......)
