Chapter 108: The Divine Decree Sets Out
The emperor is seriously ill!!
This news shocked the entire imperial city, the emperor was not confused, his body has always been tough, how could he suddenly become seriously ill? Everyone was suspicious, the courtiers, concubines, and princes all wanted to go to Linzhao Palace to find out, but they were all turned away from the palace gate, and suddenly, all the spearheads were pointed at the four princesses. After all, the emperor suddenly became ill after the birthday of the fourth princess. But everyone came to suffer without evidence, and secondly, the emperor did not order an investigation. Therefore, these gossips did not have any substantial impact on the fourth princess.
After Princess Yuechen's coming-of-age sacrifice, the emperor has always announced that he is seriously ill and has quit the court. It was reported that Teng Tianle and his deputy general Shen Laiyang were at odds, causing Sheng Rui to take advantage of the loophole, and our army was defeated and retreated. Now in the city, the light yƬ does not dare to fight. Sheng Rui took this God-given opportunity to recover a number of small countries around him, constantly recruiting troops and horses, and preparing to break through the border gate city in one fell swoop!
After the winter, Sheng Rui's offensive became more and more violent, and finally forced Teng Tianle to come forward to beg for peace, Sheng Rui agreed, but put forward extremely harsh truce conditions. As soon as this condition came out, the whole country was shocked. Sheng Rui's envoys threatened that it was okay to negotiate peace, but they asked for peace. And it is specified that the object of the kiss must be Princess Yuechen! Suddenly, Gong Hanli was pushed above the wind and waves again.
There was chaos in the court, and the courtiers, represented by the emperor's eldest son, strongly advocated marrying the princess in exchange for peace; The courtiers, represented by the king of Dong, strongly objected to the fact that it was insulting to marry the most noble princess of our dynasty; The right servant Teng Yunlong, as the representative, remained neutral and his attitude was unclear. It's a pity that the emperor has always refused to go to the court and not approve the chapter, even if the ministers quarreled with each other, there was no result.
At this moment of crisis, the emperor finally returned to the court, and said undoubtedly: "My princess Yuechen must not be used to beg for peace!" From today onwards, I will send Princess Yuechen to replace Teng Tianle and send troops again. If she wins, I will make her the princess of the auxiliary country, and if she fails, she ...... Kill it! My princess Yuechen, even if she dies, she will never surrender to her relatives! ā
A group of old ministers in the court knelt down to stop them, and Du Bangde, the provincial servant who took the lead, tried his best to oppose: "Your Majesty! Think twice, Your Majesty! It is a taboo for women to hold military power in the ancestral code, your Majesty, think twice! A group of courtiers also knelt down and begged the emperor to take back his order.
Who knew that at this time, Princess Yuechen actually walked out of the queen, pointed at the noses of the courtiers and scolded: "You old things, if you can marry far away for the palace, the palace will not fight." If you can't, shut up Hongu! ā
The courtiers were scolded so red that they wanted to argue again, but Princess Yuechen spoke up again: "Do you think this palace is going to take charge of the army?" This palace is to fight for your life, to protect your family and defend the country! I am dignified in the Tang Xia of the Celestial Dynasty, and I want to marry the eldest daughter of the former queen in order to seek peace, I ask you, where is the prestige of my Celestial Empire? If you're sorry for your ancestors, you're the first, right!? ā
The old ministers were scolded so much that they had nothing to say, so they only blindly knelt and kowtowed. The rest of the courtiers who wanted to oppose didn't dare to speak again when they saw this, and the matter was decided with certainty!
Princess Yuechen looked at the group of courtiers and sneered, walked out of the main hall without looking back, and went straight back to her Guan Ju Palace.
As soon as she stepped into the Guan Ju Palace, Han Li began to throw things hard, and the eight of them heard the sound in the hall and all greeted her, but no one dared to stop her. Han Li saw everyone's worried looks, she had never leaked her inner emotions lightly, but this time she really couldn't swallow this breath, so she grabbed another porcelain bottle and threw it to the ground, with a loud "bang", the porcelain bottle turned into pieces and splashed out, and one of the pieces was splashed towards Han Li.
"Princess, be careful!" Xuanwu stepped forward and pulled Han Li with an arrow, but fortunately it didn't hit the vital point, but a small cut was cut on her arm.
There was a slight tingling sensation in the arm, and the blood flowed out, and when he heard the rain, he hurriedly beckoned the palace maid to fetch the medicine box, and stepped forward to treat Han Li's wound. Han Li looked at the bleeding arm, and his heart tingled. If it's on the battlefield, what if? So what's going to happen!
"Pass my order and invite all the princes and princesses and the concubines of the harem to come to my Guan Ju Palace for a banquet tonight. I'm going to have a big farewell feast! ā
The eight of them didn't know what had just happened in the court, but they didn't dare to disobey the princess's order, so they immediately ordered.
"The Fourth Duke is going to go with the army!" "The fourth princess wants to hold a banquet in the palace!"
The above two pieces of news are the things that people in the inner courtyard of the palace talk about the most today. Who in the world doesn't know that the emperor loves the four princesses to the extreme, and this time he actually sent the four princesses to the expedition, but I heard that if the princess wins, she will be named the princess of the auxiliary country.
Gong Han has been favored for many years, and there are countless people who resent her, and now, there are not a few people who are secretly happy. However, there are countless people who love her, which is really a few joys and a few worries.
At this moment, in the Guan Ju Palace, Han Li was lazily reclining on the soft couch, holding a book in his hand and reading. Standing next to him were Xuanwu and Listening to the Rain. It's still early at the moment, but at night, a feast will be held in Guan Ju Palace. Looking at Han Li's appearance, it doesn't look like a well-prepared appearance at all.
Listening to the rain on the side has endured for a long time, the princess is obviously about to be sent out, but she does not ask the emperor, but in the Guanju Palace, she either reads and writes or embroiders and paints, and she is not nervous at all. Tonight, I will invite the people of the palace to come here for a party, and the princess will not fight for it, but will still lie lazy.
I couldn't bear it anymore, and when I heard the rain come forward and knelt down, she whispered aggrievedly: "Princess~", with a somewhat coquettish tone, with her sweet and delicate face, it is very cute.
How could Han Li not understand the thoughts of the girl who grew up with her, she couldn't help laughing, and asked lightly, "What's the matter?" ā
"Princess, you, you are going to go on an expedition soon, today, today you must win the palace people to lobby the emperor for you, the emperor has always been like this, so much love for you. If everyone begs the emperor, they can't say, maybe the emperor will take back the holy decree! No matter how bad it is, no matter how bad it is, let you take us with you! You are only allowed to bring one attendant, the battlefield is so dangerous, how can we rest assured!! Listening to the rain, I almost burst into tears.
Han Li just wanted to speak, but when she heard Xue happened to come close to the house, after saluting Han Li, she said softly: "Princess, the dishes are ready." After finishing speaking, I found that Tingyu was kneeling at the feet of Han Li with red eyes, Tingxue has always been as careful as dust, and immediately understood what was going on, and whispered to Tingyu: "Silly girl, get up quickly, the princess has her own arrangements, you don't have to worry." āć
Tingyu knew that Tingxue had always been able to guess the princess's thoughts, and since she had said so, she thought that the princess must be confident, and felt a little relieved, so she stood up. But then puffed up her mouth and said: "Princess~ You are so eccentric, you will tell Sister Xue for everything, and you won't tell me for anything!" ā
