Zhu Zhiling was silent.

She knows her mother's temperament best, and if she doesn't say anything at this time, her mother's anger will naturally burn more and more.

Sure enough, Emperor Ming's face became more and more ugly, and he was angry for a while, and then ordered:

"You go on!"

"It's also strange to say, according to the report of the Ministry of War, after the Blood Flame King entered the city, he only beheaded Cai Shouxin's family, and he didn't poison the ordinary people, but just drove the people out of the houses and set fire to them everywhere, and burned the granaries of the people's houses, which has burned almost half of Linzhou City."

"Just set fires and don't kill people? Why is that? Emperor Ming felt incredible.

Zhu Zhiling took out two copies of the recital from his sleeve and replied: "This is the reason why the household department followed the military department." Before the people of Linzhou suffered, some people had fled south to take refuge in the capital of Taiye Country. Jingzhao Prefecture has temporarily sent a sum of money to the household department to help the refugees and settle them in the suburbs. But the Blood Flame King made such a fuss, almost half of the people in Linzhou City were homeless, and they were forced to flee to the capital of Taiye Country. The people's foot strength is slower, and now it is estimated that they are still on the way to the national capital, and in another three or four days, they will probably rush to Taiye City. At that time, it will be difficult for the household department to spend a large amount of money to deal with it, and the refugees are so large that if they do not settle well, the sons and daughters will ...... The sons were worried that there would be a civil uprising. This trick of Imulan is not evil. ”

Emperor Ming took the chapter and read it carefully, and what was said was more serious than what Zhu Zhiling had just said. It seems that this incident has indeed reached a critical juncture.

"In previous years, didn't the prefect of Linzhou deliberately prepare some food to hoard outside the city, so that the Imurans could snatch it back for the winter? Why is it so good this time, and it is so fierce? Do you have a clue? The more Emperor Ming spoke, the more strange he felt.

"The retainers are also strange, but the temperament of the Imuran blood clan is known, and it is not surprising that he has done anything unreasonable when he kills the red eye. Originally, Erchen also wanted to ask the blade clan in the city to mediate again. Unexpectedly, Mo Daqiu said that the Golden Blade King had recently returned to the capital of Shakoye due to the affairs of the clan, and it was difficult to respond for a while, and the blood clan was fierce, so they were powerless to stop it this time. ”

Emperor Ming looked at her and frowned, "Ling'er, in fact, I have long suspected that this Blade Clan and the Blood Clan are teaming up to play a trick on our Bihai. One sings with a red face, the other sings with a white face, repeatedly reaping profits, and reaping benefits. ”

Zhu Zhiling nodded and said: "Mother Emperor Shengming, in fact, my daughter has already had this kind of speculation, but in the past few years, the three Imulan clans have indeed been peaceful, although there have been occasional turmoil, it is not a big deal in the end, and my daughter has not studied too deeply, I don't know what happened this time." But regardless of whether they are teaming up to make a show, this time the other party has finally hit the door, and the daughter is thinking about what to do next. ”

Emperor Ming bowed his head and said: "You are right, no matter what conspiracy they have, they can't bear it anymore, and they can't let it go any longer." So what do you see, is there a solution? ”

Zhu Zhiling said: "My daughter proposed to expand the Golden Feather Camp before, but after thinking about it, it is indeed inappropriate. It is difficult for the Golden Feather Battalion to expand further and match the army of Imuran, and it is not wise to attack Imuran's long with the shortness of my blue sea. Therefore, my daughter wanted to propose to Cangwu that the two countries join forces on the Northern Expedition to fight against Imulan! ”

Emperor Ming was dumbfounded for a while, looked at his daughter incredulously and said, "The Northern Expedition?" My blue sea has always lived in peace, how did you think of going to the Northern Expedition? ”

"Mother Emperor, please think about it, Imuran twenty-five years ago the wolf son was ambitious, and thanks to the help of the Cangwu Kingdom, Imuran's vitality was greatly damaged, and it also changed the peace of the Bihai Country for twenty years, and Imuran has gradually recovered in recent years, and it may make a comeback at any time. The matter of the prefect of Linzhou seems to be accidental, but it is actually a matter of time or time. As long as Imulan's thief heart does not die, my blue sea will be restless. That's why the daughter felt that it was time to deal a blow to Imuran and let him roll back to the desert's lair. ”

"I also know what you said, but the large-scale Northern Expedition is related to the survival of the country, so are you so sure to do it?" Emperor Ming admired his daughter's decision to kill very much, but it was a matter of national fortune, and it must not be a mistake, and the use of force against the Imurans was not a matter of unscrupulous words.

Zhu Zhiling was still very calm, and replied loudly: "Mother, please listen to your daughter again." Now that it is summer, Imulan has plenty of grain and grass, and its edge is unstoppable. We can't go head-to-head with it. In the autumn, when they wanted to return to the capital of Shakoye, it was the end of the crossbows, and it was the best time to join forces in the northern expedition to pursue them. Although there are few soldiers in my Bihai Kingdom, there is a lot of money and food, and there are many generals in Cangwu Country, and there are Muyun Zhiguan Tianxia to lead the army to the east, which can be described as a perfect combination. In the past few years, the daughter has secretly and carefully expanded the Golden Feather Battalion, and has not let the Cangwu Kingdom know the truth, at that time, the daughter can say that there are no soldiers in the blue sea, and only some old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers can be transported with grain and grass, so they can leave the elite to guard the capital of Taiye Kingdom. The north of the national capital is full of swamps, and the Imuran iron cavalry is not easy to attack, so the capital of the Taiye country is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the mother emperor can still sit back and relax in the city, and sit and watch Cangwu and Imuran fight, which is geographically advantageous. ”

Zhu Zhiling stretched out his jade hand, raised three fingers and said: "Speaking of the third point of human harmony, Cangwu and I have been friends for a hundred years, and recently my sister married Cangwu and became the crown princess, and the two countries are already intimate." At this time, it is only appropriate to propose a joint expedition to the north. I believe that if my sister hears my request to join forces in Cangwu, she will definitely secretly help to do her part. With this time, place and people, it is a once-in-a-lifetime good time to start after the autumn! ”

Emperor Ming squinted at her, muttered for a while, and said: "You are right, but Emperor Wen Li Houcong is not stupid, the benefits you said are all beneficial to my blue sea." For him Cangwu, there is no profit in the end. If the Cangwu Kingdom wants to wade through mountains and rivers and send troops to fight the Imurans on our behalf, how can they agree to such a loss-making deal? ”

Zhu Zhiling smiled and said: "This mother doesn't have to bother, my daughter has her own way to get Emperor Wen to agree to this loss-making deal." As long as the mother emperor is willing to nod and join the Northern Expedition, the rest will be left to her daughter. ”

Emperor Ming knows his daughter's ability very well, and her intelligence is inherited from the bloodline of the Zhu family, but her strategy is far superior to that of her ancestors. To be honest, sometimes even the Ming Emperor himself had to admire his daughter's means. Maybe she is old, and it's time to hand over this blue sea country to her. But the fact that this joint army is going on the Northern Expedition is too big, or is it not easy to nod and agree with just a few words? Although I can't say anything wrong, there is a faint uneasiness in my heart.

Zhu Zhiling saw that the mother queen was silent, her face was quite calm, and she was actually quite nervous in her heart. All of this, which has been planned on thin ice for a long time, is indispensable today. If the mother does not agree to the Northern Expedition, she can only find another opportunity, but even if she can wait, the fetus in her womb cannot wait, let alone the infinite life. If a child is born, once the mother has the idea of abdicating, then the infinite may be given death at any time. This...... This is absolutely not possible.

Seeing that it was still a little hot, I just couldn't say a word, in case my mother became suspicious and used the art of contemplation, she would fall into a place of no return.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhiling planned to stand up and take a step forward by retreating.

Suddenly, a palace maid ran to outside the palace in a panic, and when she saw the Ming Emperor, she bowed down and began to kowtow desperately.

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty...... Big things are not good. ”

"What's the matter?" Emperor Ming's face sank.

"Princess Qingyang...... Her Highness...... It's gone. The palace maid was already panicked to the extreme.

"Nonsense! How could the good ones be gone? ”

"It's true...... His Royal Highness has been staying in Huliang Pavilion for the past few days......"

Emperor Ming's face was extremely surprised: "She can't live in the palace by herself, how could she run to Huliang Pavilion?" ”

"Your Highness, she ...... I heard that Master Su was gone, and I didn't think about tea and dinner, and finally moved to Huliang Pavilion, where Master Su lived before, which was better. The slave maid thought that His Royal Highness would be fine in a few days, but this morning she suddenly found that she couldn't find Her Highness anywhere, and after a closer look, she found that there were still several pieces of clothing missing, and she left a letter saying that she was going to find Master Su. ”

She ...... How could she want to find something Bachelor Su? Hasn't that Master Su already returned to Cangwu Kingdom? Emperor Ming became more and more confused.

The palace maid had been told by Zhu Zhitong not to let His Majesty know about herself and Su Xiaochen, so Emperor Ming didn't know at all. Now that she has suddenly lost someone, where can the palace maid still take care of these advices, and simply tell all the private transactions between the two in one go, which made Emperor Ming stunned.

Emperor Ming turned his head to look at Zhu Zhiling and asked, "Do you know these things about your sister?" ”

Zhu Zhiling nodded in embarrassment, shook her head, and had no choice but to laugh and say: "The two children are a little more stubborn on weekdays, but the daughter is careless, so she didn't think about it." ”

"Little children? They are all sixteen years old, where are they still children? This Su Xiaochen is also a courtier of a country, why does he act so disproportionately? actually caused Xiao'er to go out of the palace to look for him without permission? Do you know where she's going to find him? ”

The palace maid shook her head.

Zhu Zhiling secretly thought in her heart, so I deliberately didn't say that I went to Nanhua Island, and messed up my mother's square inch. took advantage of the situation to persuade at the moment: "Mother, the little sister is really naughty, and when I turn around, my daughter will be determined to find someone around." It's just that this joint expedition to the north ......"

Emperor Ming was already in turmoil, and there was no room for caution. She knows very well that this little daughter has not been disciplined by her father since she was a child, and she has been spoiled by herself, but this is not her daughter's fault, in the end, how innocent is the child?

Emperor Ming waved his hand impatiently and said: "The matter of the Northern Expedition will be handed over to you, but this matter is very important, and everything must be reported to me at all times." ”

Zhu Zhiling was overjoyed in her heart, and just smiled faintly on her face: "Erchen obeys the order." ”
