And the female general was sweating like rain, wishing that her armor had been soaked. With the last bit of strength, she ran to the front of Ruixiang Palace and handed it over to Xirui's hands. At the moment when Xirui took over, the female general fell to the ground and convulsed. Xirui felt pity, but without pausing for a moment, she turned around and ran towards the hall. Another female historian rushed over to support the female general and carried her down to ask the imperial doctor to treat her.

The hour had passed, and the harsh howling of the wind could be clearly heard in all directions of the imperial city. In this cold winter night, everyone can see that something big has happened in Dongliang's daughter country!

Less leaning, the sound of the empress's anger came from the Ruixiang Palace, and the report was thrown to the ground by the empress, and she was so panicked that Xirui bent down and bent her knees to pick it up. Suddenly, a little female history withdrew from the palace in a panic, and passed the word to announce that the three female princesses would come to meet immediately.

At the end of the ugly time, several ministers walked in from afar at the palace gate, they were Prime Minister Li Xiangyang, Taiwei Zhu Zhichun and Imperial Doctor Liu Xuande. Li Xiangyang and Liu Xuande's pace is quite vigorous, and Zhu Sleevechun is a little older, and he can't help but falter. Li Xiangyang and Liu Xuande helped her to Ruixiang Palace, and both of them knew in their hearts that the highlight of tonight was still on Zhu Zhichun.

The lady who held the lamp walked in front to illuminate, Li Yunhe saw his housemother enter the palace, and said to Yan Guiwan in a low voice: "Sister Wan, this is really a big deal!" ”

Yan Guiwan's heart had already "banged" violently, she had already guessed that there must be a riot in the northwest border, looking at the urgency of the female general, this time it may be not small. Frightened the empress late at night and sent the third duke to face the saint overnight, is it possible to repeat the decisive battle four years ago?

The empress and the three female ministers discussed until dawn, and they did not leave the palace, but were invited by the female history to the side hall to take a break, and when the empress returned to the palace to change into the court clothes, she followed her to the front hall to go to the court.

The empress sat on the court, and the female history read the report to the civil and military officials below.

It turned out that Xizhou suffered from a severe drought this summer, and the crop harvest since the beginning of autumn was generally not good, especially the people living in the border areas had no way to live. When they saw that the people on this side of Dongliang were hoarding grain for the winter, they had bad intentions, and a group of thugs attacked the villages of Dongliang at night, trying to steal a large amount of grain from each family. The Eastern Liang soldiers stationed at the border found out in time and exchanged fire with them, successfully driving them out of the border.

This was a small friction incident, and such collisions between the two countries have occurred from time to time for many years. But this time, Xizhou State grabbed this stall, and used "Dongliang harms our civilians" as an introduction, and the soldiers pressed the border and openly violated the territory of Dongliang. Due to the enemy's blitzkrieg, the garrison led by General Zhu Xianran did not prepare in advance, resulting in the villages that Xizhou Kingdom had broken into to grab grain before, which were completely occupied by them, and the grain was looted by them, and the civilians who did not surrender were also brutally killed.

Immediately after that, the two countries of Xizhou and Dongliang fought head-on, and there were several battles at the border, and the soldiers on both sides were killed and wounded, and by the time the report was sent from the border, the two armies had become a stalemate. If this is the case, it is not too bad, Dongliang's combat effectiveness is not very weak. The bad thing is that General Zhu is unfortunately seriously injured and in danger, and at this time, the dragons are leaderless, and I am afraid that something big will happen that disturbs the morale of the army!

Taiwei Zhu didn't care about the life or death of his eldest daughter, so he pushed his youngest daughter, who had just given birth, to the front, and wanted her to rush to the northwest frontier as soon as possible, stabilize the morale of the army, repel Xizhou, and regain the lost territory.

But the empress did not agree to let Zhu Xinran go, because she commanded hundreds of thousands of imperial forest troops, if she was not in Kyoto, what would she do in case of an unexpected mutiny or rebellion? Besides, Taiwei Zhu is old, even if she hands over the Imperial Forest Army to her to take care of, she will not be able to overcome obstacles like five or ten years ago.

Therefore, the purpose of the empress summoning the three female ministers was very clear, asking them to recommend suitable candidates and rush to the northwest frontier in the morning.

When Prime Minister Li Cheng saw that the empress refused to let Zhu Xinran go, he knew that she intended to preserve the strength of the Imperial Forest Army. Li Xiangyang repeatedly figured out the holy will, and finally recommended Tang Yu's second daughter, that is, Xu Yanqing's wife, Tang Yiai, the eighth concubine. One is that Tang Yiai is the daughter of Tang Yu, and she has not done anything over the years, and this opportunity is just right for her to make a contribution; Second, Tang Yiai has been a deacon under Zhu Zhichun, and leading troops to fight is what generals under the command of Taiwei should do; The third Tang Yiai is the Tang family, the mother's family of the empress's biological father, and after the old prime minister Tang Yu returned to the field, the Tang family needs to support a new leader.

But Liu Xuande unexpectedly recommended the eldest princess of the prince to go on the expedition. Liu Xuande's intention is very clear, that is, to let Xu Huaiqing be tempered and give her the opportunity to win the love of Dongliang, as the so-called one who wins the hearts of the people wins the world.

The three female ministers expressed their opinions and argued endlessly, and moved from Ruixiang Palace to the main hall of the Linchao. The empress sat upright in the court, her eyes slightly closed, listening to the ministers contending......

"The minister dared to say bluntly, if I let the prince of Dongliang go to the battlefield and die as a martyr, what if I was captured by the Xizhou child? Will we save or not save when the time comes? ”

"The eldest princess is the prince, only we Dongliang people know, don't say Xizhou Xiaoer, even we Dongliang people may not all recognize the appearance of the eldest princess, how can she be recognized and captured by the enemy? Unless...... There are traitors within ourselves! ”

"Eight horses are young and have little qualifications, and they have no experience in leading troops to fight, if General Zhu is not injured, it is okay to ask her to go over and be a deputy general. Now I want Tang Yiai to rush to the past, but I'm afraid that she doesn't have the courage to lead the garrison! ”

"Two more lieutenants can be transferred from the command of Taiwei Zhu to follow the eight horses, and General Zhu has not died in battle, she is just injured, maybe it won't take long to recover!"

……

The civil and military officials in the court were arguing with red faces, and the empress did not hinder them to clarify their views. But Xu Huaiqing and Tang Yiai were already trembling and stammering. Obviously, Xu Huaiqing was unwilling to go into battle to kill the enemy, and Tang Yiai didn't want to do this dangerous errand. Xu Moqing's displeasure was already on her face, and while the ministers were arguing, she herself was involved, trying to convince the recommenders that she had some reasons why she couldn't go. But Tang Yiai can't, she has the glory of the Tang family on her shoulders, no matter how unwilling she is in her heart, she must fight with reason, and implore the empress to hand over this messenger to her.

After a battle of words, the empress slowly opened her eyes, "Do you have anything else to say?" ”

The ministers stopped talking, and each bowed his head with bated breath.

"That being the case......" The empress seemed to make a final decision.

"Mother Emperor, Your Majesty Mother Emperor, my son has something to say."

Everyone's eyes instantly focused on the person who spoke, this person was none other than Xu Zhongqing, the third daughter of the empress.

Xu Zhongqing stepped out of the ranks from the ministers, bowed and crossed his hands and said: "Mother Emperor, the sons are willing to ask for their lives to go to the northwest frontier to help General Zhu with a helping hand to recover the lost territory and repel the enemy in Xizhou!" ”

The eldest princess, the second princess, and the fourth princess were all stunned, and even Li Xiangyang and Liu Xuande were stunned.

The empress's face did not change, but she was very happy in her heart, and there was still a daughter who was willing to share her worries. She glanced at Taiwei Zhu and saw that she was looking at the third princess with approving eyes, it seemed that Xu Zhongqing was the right person in her heart. But why didn't she recommend it? What exactly is her concern?

"Zhong Qing, have you thought about it?"

The empress's voice did not reveal the slightest emotion, only the supreme majesty.

"The eldest princess, as the prince, should not charge into battle, if something happens, it will hurt the root of my Dongliang. The eight horses have not yet had the experience of leading troops to fight, and the war in the northwest cannot wait, and I cannot underestimate the enemy in the eastern beam. Erchen participated in dozens of battles large and small, and even the bitter battle four years ago, Erchen also participated in it as a member of the army. So at the moment, Erchen thinks that Erchen is the most suitable candidate. ”

Xu Zhongqing's impassioned statement made all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty admire. After a brief eye contact, the three female ministers also reached a consensus and agreed with Xu Zhongqing's expedition to the northwest frontier.

"Okay, before closing the city gate today, Zhong Qing must set off on the road. I am here waiting for your triumphant return! ”

The deliberations of the early dynasty came to an end, but there was a satisfactory result. The three female ministers and Xu Zhongqing still did not leave, but returned to Ruixiang Palace with the empress to continue the discussion.

At this time, Yan Guiwan and Li Yunhe had finished their duties, and they went out of the imperial city early in the morning and went home. Although they all knew in their hearts that there was a war in the northwestern frontier, it was still a little far away for the two of them.

Li Yunhe and Yan Guiwan walked side by side for a while, and the two of them rode their horses very slowly.

"It seems that General Xian Ran is really seriously injured, and I don't know if she can survive this hurdle. The Northwest garrison would be unimaginable without her. ”

Yan Guiwan was silent, although she also hated the invasion of Xizhou Kingdom, but an indescribable excitement arose in her heart. She tried hard to hide this excitement, but she was still captured by Li Yunhe.

"Sister Wan, don't you look like going? This opportunity is too much to ask for, isn't it? ”

Yan Guiwan let out a heavy sigh, she didn't want to deny it.

"Actually, I want to go too, it's always good to see the world early. But when we left the palace just now, didn't we also hear that the candidate recommended by the court was either the eldest princess or the eighth horse? It would be nice if the third princess of my family went on the expedition, so that I could take both of us with her! ”

"I hope so." Yan Guiwan smiled bitterly.

The second daughter said goodbye, and Yan returned home late to fight the horse and return home. Along the way, Jiuying told the Yan family what happened and what Xu Moqing did. Yan Guiwan's mind had fallen into the northwest war, and he only said perfunctorily to Jiuying: "You just follow the will of His Highness, he and I are of the same heart." ”

"Then Liu Fulang is now in charge of the Yan family's internal affairs, maybe what else will he get involved in the future? After the New Year, Lord Yun's child should land, and Lord Lan ran to get close to Zhumei Yuan. Our little master Ze is still a male dependent, and sooner or later he will get married, and the housemother now has a new male favorite, and her attitude towards Taoyao Pavilion is ambiguous. Evening Lord, why don't you know how to panic? Jiuying said in annoyance.

Yan Guiwan sighed alone: "The main mother should still be angry with me, last time I was angry with her enough, I guess it will give me a good face for a while and a half." She was stunned, raised her head and said, "When will the mistress have a new love?" ”
