Jiuqing, the ministers, the British duke, and Wang Zhen occasionally moved a small step forward in an involuntary state, so everyone got closer and closer to Zhu Qiming, and formed an arc-shaped queue in front of Zhu Qiming. Even King Yu put aside his scruples and quietly moved a few steps to Zhu Qiming's side.

Zhu Qiming didn't want to enjoy the treatment of the stars and the moon, he stepped back from time to time, but the people in front of him followed him like a shadow, always unconsciously moved to adjust the spacing, and surrounded him in the middle at close range, and later, Zhu Qiming simply gave up his attempt to keep his distance.

"Looking at the east and west sides of Warat, the Jurchens are undoubtedly its last source of troops, what is the intention of Warat to expand its troops so impatiently?"

Kuang Yu furrowed his eyebrows and exclaimed: "Warat Iron Cavalry has traveled thousands of miles from east to west, and has not encountered an enemy, and against other states, Warat's existing troops are more than enough, and it is impossible to go to Haixi to capture people." Warat is eager to coerce the vassal army, and has only one intention, that is, to make up for the shortage of soldiers who invaded our Ming Dynasty in the south! ”

It is true that many people in the DPRK and China did not think that there would be a battle between the Ming Dynasty and Warat at all, and some people were keenly aware of the sound of drums and horns as the war approached, but in their subconscious, the war was not completely inevitable. Above the entire court, there are very few people who talk about "there will be a battle between Daming and Warat, and the war is imminent". However, after a brief conversation between a group of internal and external officials and a prince, the clouds of the great war were densely placed in everyone's minds.

War with Warat, this is always a heavy topic that cannot be bypassed!

"The Arctic seashore will not stay there for too long, presumably at this time, the Warat Iron Cavalry has already arrived near Datong and Xuanfu, so the defense of the Jurchen side of the court is meaningless at the moment, and there is no way to prevent it! The most important thing for Daming to pay attention to is the movement of the Tartars in Datong and Xuanfu, after the Wara people try to find out, they will stop for a while, and then suddenly attack the south at an unexpected time! ”

Everyone whispered about the latest border situation in Datong and Xuanfu, and they really noticed the clues that the Tartar thieves wanted to cross the border and try to probe, so they left Zhu Qiming and got together to discuss non-stop.

Taking advantage of this moment, King Yu gave Zhu Qiming a look, Zhu Qiming walked towards the window, and when he staggered with King Yu, he stopped for a short time.

"King Yue, do you want to see Xining?"

"Not bad."

"I'm afraid you won't see Xining. However, someone has heard of some secrets of Xining, you might as well meet this person. ”

"Who?"

"Pang Zhe!"

Zhu Qiming quickly left King Yu, walked to the window and hurriedly glanced at the autumn scenery outside the window, and then returned to the place and stood solemnly. No one on Jiuqing's side paid attention to his actions, they didn't know why they were fighting for something, and even Wang Zhen was arguing with others.

The emperor returned to the Yongsu Palace, and the arguing people hurriedly stopped their mouths and rearranged the order.

The emperor's eyebrows opened and smiled, his complexion was excellent, his face was flushed with a long-lost red light, and he raised his hand to announce the good news in the palace in public, his eyes touched Zhu Qiming's figure, and the smile instantly froze on the emperor's face. Of course, he was convinced of Qin Huifei's innocence, but the nonsense of the concubines in the palace still pierced a thorn in his heart, and an undeniable fact was placed in front of him: Zhu Qiming is already an adult, and he is the object of secret admiration of countless women, and among these women, I am afraid that there are also women of the Son of Heaven!

After returning to the throne and taking a seat, the emperor looked solemn again.

Zhu Qiming didn't care much about the emperor's cold face at all, and a calm voice in his heart reminded him: The little prince had long since left, and now the king of Yue seemed to be pulled by several invisible ropes, and unconsciously, he was drifting away from the Son of Heaven.

Wang Zhen quickly turned to face the emperor, and spoke out in public very rarely: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the war on the Jurchen side has become a thing of the past, and most of them have moved to Datong and the north of Xuanfu. A few days ago, there was a warning message from the Xuanfu side, saying that a large group of Tartar thieves had crossed the border and plundered, and I was afraid that the first subordinates were deliberately tempting. Your Majesty, the defense of the Xuanfu must not be peeped out by the Warats! ”

Kuang Wei was surprised: This is my word!

The emperor was stunned, and then he only had to glance at Wang Zhen, and his face quickly relaxed, "Sir, does he have a good plan?" ”

Wang Zhen hesitated for a moment, "For today's plan, it is advisable to send troops to suppress it." ”

"Did you mean to send the Beijing army to suppress it?" When questioning, the emperor's eyes were fixed on Zhu Qiming's face.

"Your Majesty, why bother to seek the near and far? The Yuefu guards are stationed in Miyun, and they must be on their way back to Beijing at the moment. At that time, the king of Yue had conquered the Tartar thieves in the area of Xuanfu, and he was familiar with the road, so it was better to let the king of Yue set off on a certain day, and summon the Yuefu guards who returned to Beijing halfway, and go to Xuanfu to see the opportunity to act. ”

Zhu Qiming gritted his teeth secretly, he didn't bother to look at Wang Zhen, but his heart still sank suddenly, and he faintly felt that the marriage with Xi Yao's sister might be shelved.

Originally, I came to play soy sauce, but now it's good, just because of a good "chat" a few words, I added some substance to the court discussion that is accustomed to retreat, and I am simply asking for hardship, maybe I will become the first to go to the national disaster, what a ghost!

"Never!" Shoufu Cao Nai came out of class, "Your Majesty, it's not what it used to be!" At present, the thieves are becoming more and more vigorous, and it is no longer a small group of Tartar thieves who cross the border to plunder, so there are countless defenders on the border, but they can only rely on the castle to protect themselves, and few defenders dare to leave the city rashly when they encounter Tartar thieves. There are only more than 3,000 people in the Yuefu Guard, and once they encounter a Tartar thief who is twice their own in the open wilderness, the consequences are unimaginable! ”

Wang Zhenli glanced at Cao Nai, "Don't be alarmist!" Back then, the king of Yue was young, and he was able to completely annihilate the Tartar thieves of Kou, but now that the king of Yue is an adult, is it not as good as Zhiyong back then? What's more, there are countless border troops in Xuanfu, and they can help at any time! ”

Nonsense! Can this king mobilize the border army? According to the urine nature of the border army, even if the Son of Heaven personally recruits, most of them dare not leave the city to help! Zhu Qiming wanted to scold his mother in his heart, but his expression was calm.

Kuang Yu came out of class, "Your Majesty, the prince led the crowd to go on the expedition, after all, this move is not in compliance with the system, please think twice." ”

"It's okay!" The emperor obviously already had an idea, "King Yue led the army several times back then, and a precedent has been set, since this example has been opened, then let it be opened." King Yue, you go back to your house immediately, give some orders, and set off tomorrow morning. I will send you an additional 2,000 men, and Feng Duo will be the eunuch of the supervising army. ”

Zhu Qiming bowed and saluted, and without even leaving a word of "the minister obeys the order", he turned around and walked out of the Yongsu Palace.

When he returned to Yuefu, he instructed Tang Ji to pass the order, except for leaving a small flag to guard Yuefu, the rest of the people hurriedly packed up and left tomorrow morning.

There was no time for dinner, so Zhu Qiming avoided the eyes and ears of others outside the royal city, and went straight to Lingxiao Palace in a dilapidated carriage.

When I came to the gate of Lingxiao Palace, it was already twilight, a wisp of sunshine in the west sky, a crescent moon in the east, reflecting a lonely sky, and I felt a little sad in my heart, like the twilight around me, getting heavier and heavier.

Ling Xudao went out of the door, still not having a good face.

Even though he was in a terrible mood, he still had to put on a smiling face, "Dao Chief, Ben······ I met Sister Xi Yao. ”

"No way!" Ling Xudao shook his head again and again, "How can my sister, my sister's be called by you, and you will have to speak in the future!" ”

"Only once."

"Not once! Miss Lu is too accommodating to others, which makes others not know how to cherish it. Poor Dao said here, don't you want to see her until you do the ceremony······"

"I want to come up with a sum of money to repair the Lingxiao Palace."

Daoist Ling Xuan was still chattering, and when he heard this, he immediately paused, "In this way, Your Highness is cheap!" ”

The footsteps sounded all the way, and Ling Xudao pushed the door in, and the door was already brightly lit. The crescent moon overhead dominates the night sky, shedding a faint glow.
