When Qiu Tao came back from the imperial pharmacy, Qiu Xue had just finished worshipping her teacher, she stopped doing it as soon as she heard it, put her hands on her waist, and said angrily: "Mama is eccentric, I have begged you for so long, why don't you agree?" ”

Mama Jin stroked her forehead: "Promise, can't I promise?" ”

Qiu Tao was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed along.

The corners of Qin Niang's mouth twitched, that pharmacology or something, she didn't expect to learn it in her life, she just wanted to understand some basic common sense.

"Alright, you go and decoct the medicine." Mama Jin pulled Qiu Tao up, "This is the palace, don't dare to leave these things to those palace people to do, you'd better go in person." ”

Qiu Tao naturally understood, nodded immediately, and went to the small kitchen with the medicine she had just gotten.

Things were as Mama Jin expected, Song Huai really didn't come to her Lanxi Hall again in the next two days, because the news that she had a rash still spread more or less, so those ladies and princesses, even if they wanted to find a name to invite her to sit down, they were discouraged.

Qin Niang also fell quiet.

For the past two days, the emperor has not been clean.

Because, the Miaojiang envoy has already left Beijing, but the generals sent to support Miaojiang have not been decided.

Cheng'an Hou went to the southwest, and there was the prince of Zhenbei in the north, if he sent someone to Miaojiang, then the confrontation on the Xishu side would be loosened, and Xishu would inevitably be ready to move at that time.

Besides, he heard that King Ling fled to Xishu.

As we all know, King Ling's biological mother is the princess of Xishu, and she was married to Donglin because of marriage, so King Ling has the confidence to compete with the prince.

Now that he has fled, Bao Buqi will use the power of his mother clan to deal with Donglin.

If King Ling goes to Xishu to raise troops, then the border pass must also be very dangerous, at this time, if you want to transfer a part of the troops to support Miao Jiang, then the strength of the border pass will definitely be affected.

Therefore, the ability of this person who was sent out must not be weak.

However, there are not many people who can lead troops in the Manchu Dynasty, either they are old or inexperienced, and in this time when they are not in charge, the country has to employ people everywhere, so can the emperor not be in a hurry?

These days, the emperor has been inviting six ministers into the palace to discuss this matter, and the ministers have proposed to drag it out first, and then see the situation when the time comes.

Obviously, those neighboring countries that were about to move were also waiting and watching, and for a time there was such a stalemate, and no one took the lead in breaking this deadlock.

In the imperial study, after a deathly silence.

The crown prince tentatively proposed: "Father, the son thinks that it is best to let the third brother lead the troops. ”

The emperor was surprised for a moment, looked at him and asked, "Your third brother has not yet entered the court, and he may not understand this war, isn't it a bad thing to let him go?" ”

The prince smiled: "My father really underestimated the third brother, although the third brother did not enter the court, but since he was a child, he has also been taught with his sons, and his strategy and mind are not inferior to his sons at all, he has been traveling abroad all these years, but as a prince, at a critical moment for the country, it is also time for him to contribute." ”

The emperor was silent for a while, and Song Huai said again: "At the beginning, the master praised the third brother, saying that if he led the troops in the future, he would definitely be a rare general, and he has traveled abroad over the years, and his vision is also very comparable. ”

Although the people of the prince's party didn't understand why he suddenly wanted to recommend the third prince Song Yu, they saw that the emperor seemed to be a little moved, and they hurriedly followed.

"The minister thinks that what the prince said is very true, there are not many generals who can be used in Beijing now, and those who have low military positions are inevitably incapacitated, if it is not for the prince to go out lightly, I am afraid that His Royal Highness the prince can't help but personally lead the troops out."

"Yes, among the several princes now, only the three princes can be qualified for this position."

Yan Shangshu and Qi Shangshu have always only looked at Song Huai's horse, and when they saw that Song Huai was determined to recommend Song Yu, they immediately followed Song Yu's rainbow fart, anyway, Song Huai said whatever it was.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that the Third Highness is inappropriate, right?" At this time, Gu Chen, who had been standing beside the emperor, spoke, "No matter how smart His Royal Highness is, he has never led troops after all, and this time he has a long way to go to Miaojiang, if there is a mistake, it will damage the morale of our army." ”

Song Huai glanced at him and sneered: "Commander Gu is holding back like this, doesn't he want to go into battle himself?" ”

Gu Chen hugged his fists and said: "The minister is just a matter of facts, if His Majesty can trust the minister and let the minister go, the minister will naturally not dare to refuse." ”

Song Huai choked, and then snorted coldly in his heart, you want to go, beautiful you!

This is a great opportunity for him to get rid of Song Yu, but he can't just let Gu Chen stir it up, so he stepped up and persuaded: "Father, I heard that the third brother went to the army a few days ago, and defeated several high-ranking generals, the soldiers seem to like him very much, and they also discussed tactics with him, the third brother is definitely confident, and after all, the third brother is an adult, he will enter the court sooner or later, it is impossible to wander outside for a lifetime, why don't my father take this opportunity to experience him, and give him the title of king in the future, others have nothing to say." ”

He said a few words, as if he was thinking about Song Yu everywhere, and the emperor became more and more moved.

"Father, the fifth brother and the seventh brother are all young, and they are not in the climate, but the third brother is different, he is obviously talented, why can't he serve the imperial court? Now this opportunity is very good, just lead the troops to Miaojiang to support, and it will not necessarily fight, and even if it really starts, he is a prince, and he does not need him to go to the battlefield in person, and there will be no major incidents. ”

Song Huai's words were really thoughtful, and even the six ministers on the side were very moved when they heard it, and felt that this prince was really a good brother, and he thought about his younger brother everywhere.

"Your Majesty, once the Xishu side knows that the Third Highness who led the troops has no combat experience, I am afraid that they will immediately raise troops to attack, and if there is a business trip at that time, the consequences will be unpredictable." Gu Chen stood up from the emperor's side, hugged his fists at the emperor and shook it deeply, and said with a sincere face, "I hope Your Majesty will think twice." ”

Song Huai glanced at him and said lukewarmly: "What is Gu Tong's intention to stop the third brother from making contributions like this? He can't go, if you go, can you guarantee that Xishu will not move? Gu Chen, you haven't fought before, and your Gu family has never produced a military general within three generations. ”

Gu Chen pursed his lips and stopped talking.

Seeing this, Song Huai thought that he was speechless, and then stepped up and said to the emperor: "Father, going to Miaojiang is not the most dangerous, besides, aren't there local army generals guarding the border at the border pass?" They have been sitting and guarding over there, and for so many years, Xishu has not dared to come easily, explaining the place

The army's ability is enough to deal with it, there will be no chaos, the third brother is going, it's just an experience, there can't be any chaos, besides, the third brother enters the court, there must be a beginning. ”

As soon as the emperor heard this, Song Huai made sense, even if the five princes and the seven princes did not enter the court, the third prince could not never enter the court, after all, his biological mother was the current queen, and the power of his maternal family could not be ignored, and the emperor also hoped that his maternal family could do his best to be used by the imperial court.

But if the third prince has not entered the court, then his mother family will not be so attentive after all, after all, people have to have hope.

The emperor also sat in this position from the prince, and the stakes in each of them were naturally seen more clearly than others.

"Just follow the prince and pass the three princes into the palace." The emperor said with a firm voice.

Gu Chen lowered his eyes, covering the flash of light under his eyes.

Song Huai thought that his plan had succeeded, and glanced at Gu Chen proudly, and even when he came out of the imperial study, he specially approached Gu Chen and whispered: "Commander Gu, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you this time, the third brother's expedition this time is decided, and whether he has the life to come back or not depends on his creation, Commander Gu wants to find a way out, I'm afraid he can only come to beg me." ”

The implication is that he wants to join forces with the three princes, but he is afraid that he will not have that opportunity, if he Gu Chen does not want to die too ugly in the future, he can only come to him and use it for him.

Gu Chen glanced at him expressionlessly, didn't say anything, raised his feet and walked directly.

Song Huai was in a good mood and didn't care about his rudeness.

He suddenly remembered that he hadn't been to Lanxi Hall for several days, so it was better to take advantage of this good mood to take a look, so he raised his feet and walked in the direction of Lanxi Palace.

Qin Niang's ears have been much cleaner these days, and she is playing chess with Qiu Tao in the palace.

"Miss, can't you let the slave make a few moves? It's so ruthless every time, how boring. Qiu Tao pouted.

"You girl, Miss has let you more than a dozen times, and you have regretted your chess no less than five times, and Miss didn't say anything, but you complained." Mama Jin was sewing the medicine sachet on the side, and said angrily.

"But like that, the slave can't get off the miss." Qiu Tao held her cheeks, staring at the chessboard pitifully, her side, at a glance, was defeated like a mountain, she was afraid that she would not want to win Qin Niang after practicing for another ten years.

Qiu Tao sighed silently in her heart, thinking to herself, if she was really born in a rich family, she would have to learn these boring things every day, how boring it would be.

"Okay, don't go down, look at you like this, you're going to lose again in a while, I'm afraid I'm going to be unhappy all day." Qin Niang threw the white child in her hand and stretched, "Go get some food, I'm hungry." ”

When Qiu Tao heard this, her eyes immediately lit up: "The slave maid will go and get some food for the young lady." ”

After saying that, she stumbled down and ran quickly in the direction of the small kitchen.

Mama Jin looked at her rapidly disappearing back, shook her head and sighed: "Look at this girl, she is becoming more and more reckless." ”

Qin Niang slowly picked up the chess pieces back into the chess box and said, "As long as she is not reckless outside, it doesn't hurt to be reckless in front of me." ”

Mama Jin smiled and said, "Miss is used to her, this girl is used to it." ”

The master and servant were chatting, and suddenly heard the palace people outside shouting in unison: "See His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”
