Chapter 40: Sending troops to suppress it
On the second day, Qi Guang came to Qingxiao.
Chen Yi and Xiaoyi have only been back from Qingtai for two days, and they are repairing and pranayama in the door.
"Deputy door master, there is a son who asks to see him outside the door, saying that he wants to see the door master." Chen Yi was teaching his disciples as usual, and a small servant came to report.
"Got it, take him to the main hall and wait for me."
"Yes, Deputy Master."
"You are not allowed to be lazy, practice hard, and I will go back as soon as I go." After Chen Yi told his disciples, he went to find Xiaoyi.
In front of Xiaoyi's door, Chen Yi knocked on his door.
After hearing Xiaoyi's voice, Chen Yi pushed the door in.
"What's the matter?" Xiaoyi saw him and asked.
"Someone has come to Xiaoxiao, saying they want to see you." Chen Yi said lightly.
"Who do you know?"
"I don't know, but I've had him take to the main hall to wait."
"Okay, I'll clean up and go over."
"Then I'll wait for you outside the door."
With that, Chen Yi went out and waited outside the house.
In just a moment, Xiaoyi had already changed her appearance and walked out of the house in a white robe.
The two of them walked towards the main hall, and when they came to the main hall, Qi Guang was already waiting, but he was not in a hurry.
When Xiaoyi saw Qi Guang, he guessed that he must have come here on Yan Qinghan's orders.
"Lord Qi." Xiaoyi opened his mouth first and stepped forward.
"Master Xiaomen, I am ordered by the emperor to ask you to enter the palace with me." Qi Guang saluted and said in a respectful voice.
"Immediately?"
"Yes, there is no room for delay." Xiaoyi could see that Qi Guang's appearance was a little anxious.
Xiaoyi looked at Chen Yi, Chen Yi's eyes understood him, so that he didn't have to worry about the door, Xiao Yi said again, "Since that's the case, then let's go quickly." ”
Then, Xiaoyi followed Qi Guang and left Qingxiao together.
……
Early this morning, Yan Qinghan sat down on the dragon chair, and there was a sound of "the Queen Mother has arrived" outside the Chengyuan Palace.
When all the ministers heard this, they all looked outside the Zhu Gate, Lu Lan was wearing a red-edged black palace satin skirt, the red neckline was embroidered with golden yellow silk threads to create a magnificent auspicious cloud pattern, the blouse was made of gold and silver threads to show off the peony pattern, her hair was pulled into a high hairpin, with a golden phoenix hairpin, and all kinds of gorgeous headdresses were inserted in her hair, all of which showed her grace and luxury and domineering momentum.
"Weichen see the Queen Mother." Hundreds of officials, civil and military knelt in unison.
Lu Lan walked step by step to the curtain that had been prepared, and slowly sat down.
Yan Qinghan's hand in his sleeve was clenched into a fist at this time, and Lu Lan's actions told everyone that she was now back in power, and she, the emperor, had once again become an empty shell in name only.
But in the current situation, Yan Qinghan can't resist, he can't do anything except forbearance.
"The mourning family has been meditating on the Buddha in the harem these days, praying for my ten thousand dynasties, the mourning family was unwilling to take care of the political affairs of the previous dynasty, but now the Turkic foreign Manshina tribe is rampant, the emperor is still on the throne for a short time, and it is the first time to encounter border chaos, the mourning family is worried that people with intentions will take advantage of this chaos, so they will return to the court, one is to make a strategy for the emperor, and the other is to be optimistic about those wolf ambitions for him when the emperor is not there."
When Lu Lan said this, his eyes swept towards King Gaoping under the stage, but he didn't see it through the bead curtain.
Hearing Lu Lan's words, all the ministers understood in their hearts that she was announcing to everyone that she was the one who could really call the shots, and the emperor they worshiped every day was just a puppet she cared for, but helplessly, the general Lu Yan was her nephew, holding the military power of the Ten Thousand Dynasties, who would dare to compete with her.
"What the Queen Mother just said, is it to let the emperor lead troops to the border to suppress it?" A minister stepped forward and asked.
"That's right, the emperor has decided to bring 20,000 elite soldiers to Dongchuan to suppress and support." Lu Lan didn't hesitate.
When the officials heard this, they couldn't help but secretly say in their hearts, where is the emperor's meaning, it is clearly her decision, only 20,000 elite soldiers, this is not for people to bring about their own destruction, but even if they feel that it is absolutely inappropriate, no one dares to refute it.
When Yan Qinghan heard Lu Lan's decision, she was also nervous, even if the 20,000 elite soldiers in her hands were added, it was not enough to even aid Dongchuan, let alone completely knock the Turks out of the country, she did it on purpose.
But how did Yan Qinghan know that the purpose of his mother was to let him have no return, and the 20,000 elite soldiers were just used as soldiers and horses to accompany him to the funeral.
"Dare to fight, is this really what the emperor meant?" A strange voice arose, and everyone couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat for him.
Then I looked at it, it was Xia Zhiyi, the father of Xia Zhiyi, the prime minister of the dynasty, who spoke, and everyone was relieved to see that it was him, no wonder, he was not only the prime minister, but also Lu Lan's brother-in-law, except for him, I am afraid that no one would dare to shout with Lu Lan so blatantly.
When Yan Qinghan looked at him, he didn't expect him to sing the opposite tune like this.
"Prime Minister Xia, do you have any questions about what the mourning family said?" It is not difficult to hear that Lu Lan's tone has a hint of anger in it, but it is very forbearing.
"The minister doesn't dare, but with 20,000 elite soldiers, the minister really can't believe that the emperor has so much confidence that he can suppress the Turks." Xia Jueyi is old and calm, and his speech is even more tactful, since Lu Lan and Yan Qinghan are the target, then he will naturally shoot the arrow on Yan Qinghan's body again.
"Your Majesty, your courtiers don't believe that you have this ability, what should you do?" Lu Lan opened her mouth and asked Yan Qinghan.
Since Yan Qinghan succeeded to the throne, although Xia Jueyi has not helped him anything, he has never been with Lu Lan, so today Xia Jueyi opened his mouth for himself for the first time, Yan Qinghan naturally can't put him in a predicament, the fight between her and her mother has been involved in too many innocents, and he can't involve this person now.
"Aiqing is so suspicious of my ability, is it up to Aiqing to decide this matter?" Yan Qing said coldly.
"The minister is afraid, since it is the emperor's decision, the minister naturally does not dare to disagree." Xia Jueyi returned respectfully, and then retreated to his position.
"At that time, General Lu will go with the emperor, if there is no objection, the Qing family will retreat today."
Lu Lan's voice sounded again, and everyone said goodbye and left the hall one after another.
In the Chengyuan Palace, only Yan Qinghan and Lu Lan remained.
"Your Majesty, are you still satisfied with the decision of the mourning family?"
"The queen mother believes in her sons so much, and the sons will naturally not live up to the expectations of the queen mother."
Lu Lan chuckled, and then left the Chengyuan Hall with the help of the maid.
Yan Qinghan thought of what Lu Lan had just said, and only felt very cold, 20,000 elite soldiers, General Lu accompanied him, what was the purpose of his mother's move, he didn't know it, but he didn't want to believe it, was this imperial power really more important to her than his son, she never knew what kind of mentality Lu Lan had as a mother.
At the beginning, he lost his loved one because of Lu Lan, and now, because Lu Lan can't even protect the home country of his loved one.
