Chapter 190: The Ambition of the World
When Chu Jiangmian received the news of the victory at Yanling Pass, he was not actually in Dragon City. However, the good news of this victory was delivered to him as soon as possible.
There was a fierce debate in the royal court about whether or not to go all out to rescue the Qi State. There were many ministers who tried their best to dissuade Xingshi from mobilizing the army to fight again, out of consideration for the safety of the Zhao State. Among them, even old ministers such as Minister Fei Yi maintained a cautious attitude towards sending troops.
After all, it's no small deal. Not long after the Zhao State had just calmed down, the war with Hu Qi in the northwest was still raging, and the victory was undecided. Moreover, in addition to the Qin State, the Southern Han, Wei, and Yan have all become mortal enemies. Be prepared for another surprise attack at any time.
However, this time, the young King Zhao completely agreed with the opinions of the Shangda Doctor Zizhong and others, and with great courage, he immediately decided to send troops.
Now that King Zhao Chu Jiangmian has personally decided, of course the others have nothing to say. After less than half a year, his prestige has been quickly established. Especially in the hearts of those generals and colonels in the army, they have great confidence in his far-sighted planning. Hearing that troops were going to fight again, not only did no one feel afraid and hesitate, but everyone rushed to join the ranks of the Eastern Expedition to Qi.
Who doesn't want to die for the king on the golden platform and spread the reputation of heroic feats?
Lan Lingjun, who had received Zhao Guo's clear support, was very determined. Although the situation of Qi was critical, more than half of the land had been lost, and even with the passage of time, the Taiyue defense line, which was confronted by the Qi army and the invading enemy army, became increasingly severe under the threat of the enemy's troops. But when Lan Lingjun received a personal guarantee from King Zhao, he still dispelled the idea of rushing back to Qi immediately, and prepared to set off with Zhao's soldiers and horses.
As for the matter of Princess Sanssouci, she can only push it back first. However, what he absolutely didn't expect was that he had only thought it was Chu Jiangmian casually saying it, but he really did what he said.
When the young general dressed in armor passed in front of him, Lan Lingjun was stunned for a moment, and he looked at it in disbelief for a while before he recognized that this person in armor, long tasseled battle helmet, and bright red battle robe was the princess of Sanssouci.
"You've really decided? Let her personally go into battle and kill...... Going to war? ”
Lan Lingjun frowned deeply. He looked at Chu Jiangmian's face seriously, he really didn't understand, since the other party was not very reluctant to do this family business, why would he be so indulgent to the princess of Qi State?
Chu Jiangmian has the demeanor of a king, and his expression is calm. Of course, he wouldn't let Lan Lingjun see the bitter smile in his heart. Alas! How could this humble gentleman know that in just a few days, the eldest lady of Qi Guo was unrelenting, chasing and beating fiercely, so that he had to be forced to reluctantly agree!
Since she has an interest in this area of her own, why doesn't she agree? It's just to put on the armor, and you don't really want her to go into battle to kill the enemy...... has been let her stay in the army, and it is the right to go to see for a long time. ”
"King Zhao, don't underestimate worry-free, I'm afraid that when the time comes, it will be difficult for us to restrain her!"
"Don't worry! She's just a girl with heroic dreams in her heart. When she really went to see the cruel scenes of those iron-blooded battles, she wouldn't be so persistent...... Hehe! I hope I don't cry my nose! ”
Chu Jiangmian didn't take it too seriously after all. In fact, what really gave him a headache was not the princess's dream of being a general. It's what happened in Jinxiang Palace during this time.
Who would have thought that the seemingly innocent and carefree princess would be favored by the queen mother in the palace. I don't know if it's natural fate, or because of other reasons, the Queen Mother Jiang Xin likes this princess from the coast of the East China Sea very much. After entering the palace to meet the Queen Mother, she not only received a lot of rewards, but more importantly, the Queen Mother personally ordered her to move in and live in her palace for more than half a month.
That's intriguing. The ministers inside and outside the palace knew that looking at the attitude of the queen mother, it was very obvious that she belonged to the princess of Qi State. And this carefree princess is also very good at likable. In a short period of time, not only did he please the Queen Mother. And everyone in the palace, she is respectful and polite, and there is no dignity at all. Those palace maids and attendants were very happy to deal with it.
It is in this situation that some subtle atmosphere will inevitably arise. Many people's eyes quietly looked at the palace where Princess Cher lived from time to time. Because everyone knows that the woman who lives with Princess Xue'er is the one who made the oath to King Zhao himself.
“…… He should be hired by a thousand cities one day? ”
Of course, the Queen Mother Jiang Xin had also heard what her precious son said. She looked at Jiang Xue'er, who ran to her in front of her angrily to question, and felt very funny in her heart. Because, Princess Xue'er, who was flushed with a red face, came to find her mother for the sake of Murong Qiancheng, who lived with her.
"O Queen Mother! You obviously know that your brother likes Qiancheng, why did you recruit that princess of Qi into the palace? Now people inside and outside are talking about it, saying that the queen mother wants to force Jiang Mian's brother to make her queen! Hum...... I hate her so much! The people of Qi are really, is it true that no one wants their princess? You have to come all the way to ...... us! ”
This little princess, who has always been spoiled by the Queen Mother, has been very respectful to her mother since she was a child. Never dared to be pampered and arrogant in front of her and do anything excessive. But today, for the sake of Murong Qiancheng, she couldn't care about anything.
"Silly boy, what do you know? The alliance with Qi in the east and the formation of a strong backup were originally the major national policies that your brother Jiang Mian had set a long time ago. The people of Qi took the initiative to release their kindness, and the King and Queen of Qi were willing to send their favorite daughter to Zhao State, which itself showed their sincerity. How can we say no so easily? What's more, worry-free, civil and military, smart and beautiful, is a good match for my son, this is a good match made in heaven! ”
"Queen Mother...... But, what about Sister Qiancheng? She and her brother once suffered together, and they were even willing to block the sword with their bodies and die for him. Isn't this kind of affection more important than the kind of union for the sake of profit? ”
The kind-hearted Jiang Xue'er's eyes were full of tears. Although most of the sword wounds on Murong Qiancheng's body have healed after such a long period of recuperation, her body is still very weak, and it will obviously take a long time to recover her original health. Moreover, the two of them lived together in that palace for a summer, and Jiang Xue'er and her had the deepest relationship, and they had reached the point where they had nothing to talk about. In the heart of this simple girl, she has already regarded Murong Qiancheng as the only queen in the future. Now, another woman suddenly appeared, wanting to occupy the position of Qiancheng, and she felt uncomfortable when she looked left and right.
"Alas! Qiancheng is naturally also excellent. If it weren't for the future of Zhao Guo, she would certainly be the best candidate for the queen. But now it looks like I'm going to have to think about it again! ”
"Mother, what about my brother's opinion? He would never have agreed! ”
Jiang Xue'er pouted, although she didn't dare to refute it forcibly, she was very eager for the queen mother to change her mind as soon as possible. Jiang Xin laughed.
"Xue'er, you don't care about these adults. Go and take good care of Qiancheng, and I will naturally not treat her badly in the future...... As for how to choose between her and Wuwu, the ultimate power is not in me, but in your brother Jiang Mian's own heart! Hehe! ”
persuaded the little princess who was fighting for Murong Qiancheng, and the Queen Mother Jiang Xin immediately sent someone to call Chu Jiangmian to her. Watching the handsome and upright figure walk in from the glow of the palace, her face was full of a smile of relief.
"Mian'er, have you really decided to go to Qi Country in person?"
"The queen mother, the coast of the East China Sea is extremely important for the development of the Zhao Kingdom. In order to reassure the king of Qi and his people, but also to ensure that the land of Qi is less affected by war, so that it can play a more important role in the future. This expedition, I have to go in person to rest assured! ”
"My son has really grown up! You have such a high vision that you have started to look at the world so early...... Your father and I are not mistaken about you! Alas! It's just a pity that he can't see everything you have done. ”
Jiang Xin's tone was full of sadness. In the past six months since the death of King Chulie of Zhao, if it weren't for her son's martyrdom to support her confidence, I'm afraid she would never be able to cheer up again.
"The queen mother is relieved. If everything goes well with this plan, after this battle, the land of Yan and Qi should be all Zhao Guofan! ”
This is the first time that Chu Jiangmian has confided the ambition in his heart, and in front of the people closest to him in this world, there is no need to hide anything. Jiang Xin looked at her son in surprise, even if she had known his difference since she was a child, but such a picture of the king still scared her a little. However, she just buried her worries deep in her heart, and did not say a word of persuasion. The eagle was about to spread its wings and soar for nine days, and all she could do was reassure him.
"Do what you want in your heart, this world is waiting for my arrival ......!"
With a deep entrustment, Chu Jiangmian said goodbye to his mother Jiang Xin, and when she finally went to visit Murong Qiancheng, the woman with a pale face didn't ask anything, she just affectionately put the peace charm she had sewn with her own hands on his chest.
"I want you to promise that you will never be hurt again!"
"Don't worry! Qiancheng, for the sword you blocked for me, there will be no harm in the future! ”
She will always be the one who knows him best, and he will never let her down.
