Chapter 260: Border Emergency
When he went to court, Xiao Yechen's face softened a lot, and the ministers below were all human spirits, and when they saw Xiao Yechen's good mood, they immediately took action.
"Your Majesty!" An old minister stood up at this time, looked at Xiao Yechen earnestly, and said earnestly: "Now that you have just ascended the throne, the harem is empty, and the minister implores Your Majesty to purchase a show girl and open the harem, so that you can extend the heirs and make me ......"
"I'm not dead yet!" When Xiao Yechen heard this, he only felt that his head was too big, and these days, the ministers seemed to have nothing to do, and they were all here to persuade themselves to open their harems.
But he knew since he was a child that there were many women in the harem and many disputes, so as early as his childhood, he felt that it was enough to find a confidant woman in this life, and now Du Yan is the woman he cherishes the most, how could he open the harem and let a bunch of women come over to disturb the two-person world between him and Du Yan?
Therefore, Xiao Yechen didn't wait for him to finish his thoughts, he frowned and said, "I am in the prime of life, why do I want to extend the heir?" Besides, the future prince, naturally, only the queen is born to be qualified to become the prince of the dynasty, I have already set up Du Yan, the eldest lady of the Du family, as the queen, and the matter of choosing a concubine should not be mentioned in the future. ”
After finishing speaking, Xiao Yechen's cold face sank completely, and the ministers below looked at each other, not wanting to touch their heads at this time, so they talked about the northern Xinjiang.
"Your Majesty, in the past few days, the northern Xinjiang has made frequent moves, and in the humble opinion of the ministers, we should send troops to deter them!" On the military attaché's side, after several military attachés glanced at each other, a general stepped forward on their behalf and said very seriously.
Xiao Yechen hadn't received this news before, and when he heard it, his face became even more gloomy, and his intuition told him that this matter was by no means as simple as it appeared on the surface.
"This matter will be discussed later, and I will order someone to inquire for the time being." Xiao Yechen was reluctant to put some things in the court, so he put the matter down for the time being, and after retreating from the court, he specially invited An Mingxun to the imperial study.
An Mingxun came to the main hall at noon, Xiao Yechen rubbed his frowning brows, handed him the urgent report sent by the border pass, and said very worriedly: "Today in the court, there is a minister who mentioned this matter, and now, the border pass has sent an urgent report, there is a move in the northern Xinjiang, I am worried, this matter is related to Xiao Wenqing." ”
At this time, An Mingxun was looking at the urgent report sent by the border gate very seriously, he flipped through it, and when he heard Xiao Yechen come to such a sentence, he said with some surprise: "It shouldn't be, no matter how hateful Xiao Wenqing is, he should have a bottom line, know what can be done and what can't be done." ”
"You don't know Xiao Wenqing." Xiao Yechen shook his head, these two lives are enough for him to see Xiao Wenqing's personality clearly, and it is enough for him to understand Xiao Wenqing's character, for Xiao Wenqing, only his own interests are put first, in order to deal with himself, he can do these things, which is also expected by Xiao Yechen.
However, in the face of An Mingxun's doubts
Looking, Xiao Yechen thought for a while, and explained in a low voice: "There has been no big action on the northern Xinjiang side, at most they have done something to disturb the people at the border, but you look at the emergency report sent this time, they actually started to attack, although they only captured a border town, but from this move, it is obvious that their ambition can be seen." ”
"You have a point." When An Mingxun heard this, he immediately thought about it on the spot: "Northern Xinjiang has always honestly guarded its own one-third of an acre of land, and has never dared to do anything out of the ordinary, their troops and grain and grass are in short supply, this time they dare to do such a thing, there must be someone behind it, but the person behind it, is it really Xiao Wenqing?" ”
An Mingxun was still a little incredulous in his heart, he gently stroked his beard that had not yet grown, the fierce color flashed in his eyes, and he said in a cold tone: "If it is really Xiao Wenqing who has done such a thing of collaborating with the enemy and treason, then he will only have a dead end!" ”
"That's right, if he did such a thing, then it would be impossible for him to stay with this life." Xiao Yechen said in the same cold tone.
Although Xiao Yechen was born with an unsympathetic and very cold appearance, he always has some affection for his relatives, but what Xiao Wenqing has done now has undoubtedly touched his bottom line.
"Northern Xinjiang is a poor and remote place, and on their side, if there is a living person, it will be very eye-catching, the spies we buried before, over the years, are finally useful, let them pay attention to the faces who are connected with the royal court of Northern Xinjiang, and if they go down the vine, they will be able to find the final behind-the-scenes instructions."
Xiao Yechen sat on the dragon chair, his face was dark, he kept knocking on the case in front of him, and the dull voice echoed in the hall, Xiao Yechen at this time was in a not very good mood.
"Your Majesty, Xiao asked him, will it make a plan to attack the west? With your attention on the North, he can take the opportunity to wreak havoc in the capital. After hesitating for a moment, An Mingxun couldn't help but say what he thought in his heart, "If he doesn't mean to drink, how should we deal with it?" ”
"Don't worry about this, on my side, his people can't get close, from today onwards, I will arrange people around Yan'er and call her thoughtful." When Xiao Yechen heard this, he thought for a while and gave an answer.
Upon hearing this, An Mingxun nodded, obviously extremely satisfied with this arrangement: "The emperor is indeed thoughtful in doing this, although Xiao Wenqing may not be kind to Yan'er's sister, but it is better to be cautious." ”
"Since Sister Yan'er has arranged it, how should I deal with it over there in Northern Xinjiang?" An Mingxun asked again.
Xiao Yechen heard this, and said directly without thinking: "Northern Xinjiang is just a small country, but there are people behind it, they dare to be so arrogant, what we have to do now is to swallow our anger until the moment when we find out the mastermind behind the scenes." ”
"And those towns in the border cities are sending more troops to defend them, at least there will be no more of this
times in this case. Xiao Yechen told An Mingxun carefully, the tenderness in his eyes had not yet dissipated, and when he spoke at this moment, it was especially clear that the friendship between him and Du Yan was understood.
"What the emperor said is reasonable, but in this way, it is inevitable that there will be a lot of losses." An Mingxun is a little regretful, but this is already the best result, even if he is dissatisfied and has doubts, he should not be sarcastic about others like this.
